How about putting plastic over the windows. Now we are not talking about the coop vents right just the window opening? Good luck.

You could do feed bags over the windows, but if your birds are grown and feathered over they'll get through this snap.

For the rest of the winter, they'll do fine with temps. The important thing, if they're cooped up, is to make sure they have ventilation but keep the roosts out of any drafty parts of the coop.

You can repurpose feed bags to block open areas to slow drafts. Just cut the bags to get the biggest piece of fabric possible and attach it to areas of the coop that need protection.
