HI I apologise in advance if I have put this in the wrong section - I wasn't sure where it should go.
We are in Brisbane, Australia and have just entered Autumn. The nights are getting chillier and in WINTER our days are sometimes a minimum of 17 C (63F) and nights between 8 & 10 C (47 - 50 F). I have 2 bantams - the bottom of the coop is open but they have a ramp that leads to an upstairs fully enclosed sleeping/perching area (except for where the door for the ramp is). I have made removable panels to cover the side and back of the coop but want to know if they will be warm enough in the sleeping area on their perch or if I need to insulate their sleeping area? They both free range the entire day and can find a lot of spots of sun to keep warm in . Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
Justine
