i got my first birds this summer and need some help. I have ducks, chickens, and quail- They are all in out side pens. The quail are in a rasied pen. The ducks and chickens are in a ground pen. What would you do to make sure they stay warm this winter.
 
As far south as you are I would just make sure they have shelters where they can get out of the wind and huddle together.

The ducks might not even care. The chickens would like a coop to go into anyway. As for the quail, some windblocks around the bottom of their cages to cut down on drafts might help, but I have seen outdoor setups in PA that just include a small hutch in the cage with a solid bottom that they can go into.
