just wondering because its so darn cold out! my coop run door is open and the chickens are free to come outside as they please.
however because its already about 30 degrees outside, should i lock up the chickens completley in their coop.?
i feel they sleep in their well enough as it is? just wondering.
my run is covered with a large tarp. no snow or rain can get inside. theres one side, thats the door way for the run thats open, light air etc.
just wondering, my chickens should be smart enough to go back in their coop home if there too cold right?
i have aclimated them to the cold weather and only plan on using the heat lamp at 0 degrees. they have done well so far.
this is our first winter with them.
the coop is insulated as well.
thanks in advance for the feedback.
as a note: the chickens do go in at dark and i got outside to lock up the run connected the their coop etc.
thanks again..
