Help! Condensation and moisture? Frostbite?

[Eva2020]

I also have a heat plate https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-brooder-and-coop-heater if that would help at all. I know my coop isn't ideal, I'm just trying to do the best I can for now.

And Merry Christmas! I understand if no one responds, if that is the case I will probably just put more shavings down because I can't really do anything now.

Should I put vaseline on their combs, I've heard that helps.

No. It will not help and could make things worse.

Is it possible to leave the door to the run open, and wrap the lower run walls with sheet vinyl to block the wind? Basically making the entire roofed structure into a coop? More space, more ventilation, water outside too maybe.

How would the sheet vinyl keep it ventilated? Also I should mention they (like their feathers) are wet from all the rain today. I can see what I have.

Also I'm thinking that might be drafty if I kept the door open because the roosts are low

Unless you have wind blowing directly into the coop, I think they’d be better off with the door open.

The sheet vinyl itself doesn’t help with ventilation, putting it up so there’s a gap at the top of the fencing does.Maybe you could put something up so it blocks the wind where the door is.

Thank you! They seem all right this morning but I will look into that.
