You know at least we do not have a Polar Vortex this year planned! I am crossing my fingers because that was the worst work in heck for chicken keepers! I couldn't open a single door to the coop without pouring hot water down the side to unfreeze latches. Hope this year with larger latches no freezing. I only had a few frozen eggs last year to which I scrambled and threw back in for the chicks. They loved this hot treat!

We have leather flaps over the padlocks on our sheds, I wonder if something to protect at least against moisture would help keep at least the latches operable?
