I know this topic has been covered, but I am looking to find information/reassurance on my specific coop and conditions. I have 6 girls (TSC, said they are isa brown and black sexlinks). We built the 'daisy coop' for them. The walls, floor and roof are made of plywood sheets, no insulation. The roof is shingled, they have deep bedding and a roosting bar with a poop board attached underneath. They all sleep on the roosting bar together. Do you keep food and water in the coop in winter, I have been told both yes definitely and no way.? We live in Otsego County, NY where it has already been in the low 30's at night. I am VERY worried about doing what is best for my girls. Can someone please chime in here and let me know if they will be ok through winter. Should I put up some insulation inside the coop? The roof is high enough that I can put a heat lamp that they can not reach if needed. Any advice on what I should and should not be doing for them will be highly appreciated
TIA, Chrissy
