Make sure you look at some of my sister's previous winners to get ideas to beat her photos.

So you COULD visit here....we may need to discuss eggs for broodies come spring....

Possibly

Possibly

You mean that you will end up with more chickens than you thought.
We're all going to start enabling each other at the same time like a bunch of hens going broody during spring.

Chicken math needed

As a Montana resident, I can state from experience. The temps aren't usually a problem, especially if they can head into the coop to warm up. They don't like being directly in the wind or getting soaked. They don't mind a drizzle. If the sun is shining, they want to go outside. Anything below about 10F, they're quite willing to spend MOST of the day inside, but they will still poke their beaks out. Below about -10F, they don't usually want out. Temp fluctuates over the course of the day, so they will venture forth when the temp rises.

As long as the wind isn't blowing in the hatch to the coop, open it and see what they do. Is someone going to be home to keep an eye on them? Will they have access to warm water? Do they have access to food and water (that won't freeze) inside the coop?

Wings can ice up with those temperatures. Equipment failures are not uncommon

What's your sister's username? I won't know which pics to look at.

She's sometimes annoying. Trust me, I know her in real life.
