Frozen chicken?

[MinniesMomma]

We are about to have our coldest night of the year, with temperatures down to about 32 degrees with a "feels like" temperature of 19. One of my girls is missing about half of her feathers due to molt. Do I leave her in the coop to snuggle with her buddies, or bring her into the warmed up garage?

I’d leave her with the flock. As long as your henhouse is free from drafts she will be fine.
I have a Frizzle Bantam hen who is doing just fine with the winter weather.

I agree, your hen will be fine at those temperatures.

She will be fine. I had several of my girls molting with similar temperaturesituation this yoea. Thankfully they are done as it is getting down to 5 degrees tonight, and -6 degrees tomorrow night! They will snuggle together and be fine. Just make sure they have access to water. I use a heated waterer as it is often below freezing.
