I haven't turned on heat in the coop yet, inspite of Nellie's semi nakedness. I do have more birds and she tends to roost between birds....with space separating her from others at the moment. The coop feels warmer than outside temps when I go out in the morning. I'm not planning on turning on heat until it's actually down to freezing. If I have a moult turn straight up nekkid bird, I may change my mind, but as long as they're all semi-feathered and the weather isn’t snowing/blowing 20s windchill, I'm going to leave well enough alone.Maggie is warming herself in the sun. Temperatures are dipping into the 30s at night this weekend. I don’t know if that is too cold for her to cope given she is half naked.
All you cold-climate people any advice? It will be 38 on Sunday pre-dawn. Probably a few degrees warmer inside their roosting area.
