It got down to 0* last night which is by far not the coldest night we have had this year. I already lost one of my Madagascar game pullets last week to hyothermia, though, and the other one now has frozen feet. They were/are in the coop with Americaunas and they are doing very well. They all perch at night but the Magascars just do not have the feathers on their breast to cover their feet. Is my only option to bring her inside the house? They are very active chickens that do not do well in confinement.
 
I would do what ever you need to do to keep her from worst injury, another posters chickens foot was actually falling off, to the point he went ahead and amputated. I wouldn't want you to have to go that far.. it's on this page so check it out. heres the name of the post:
Aricana's foot is falling off
