What tweaks to your system are you having to make due to cold weather? It’s been below zero for awhile (before wind chill is factored in) and will be for the next week at least. I had to switch from fermented feed to regular for now as it’s freezing rock solid in minutes. The light bulb in a cinder block keeps half of the waterer thawed lol. They refused to leave the coop today. I use the deep litter system but literally the droppings are currently freezing rock solid shortly after hitting the ground. I ended up raking out the top inn or so of frozen poo shavings (cause everything under that is pretty solid) and laying a new few inches of shavings in. They seemed pretty happy to both run through the new stuff and wonder out in the run on the old shavings for a bit. They are still cranking out eggs despite the cold so I offered a crumble with a little more protein in it, they are super healthy but seem a little on the thin side (I’m thinking between constant food freezing, egg production and super cold weather?). No real question just rambling
