Have someone dig a hole and bury a 55 gallon drum. The earth is a great insulator. screw a pump in the top of the barrel and use a hand pump.
Is frostbite avoidable without electric heating? Should I add heat to my coop?

Unless you're keeping them inside or in a heated coop, this stuff will also get cold/freeze and can make it worse. It's best to do nothing.
That is false more often than it is true.
(If anyone wants to read more about when it does happen, search for "Mpemba effect" on wikipedia or with google or wherever else you like to check things.)
I have to say that I strongly disagree. There’s some moisture, but it’s not like there are standing puddles or something.
Proper, well-sited ventilation compensates.
That's why I don't do deep bedding.
That’s very confusing…
I have deep litter (not bedding), and 0 problems with ammonia buildup or condensation.
Why we use horse bedding pellets. The humidity here is already high, add chickens breathing and pooping. Current humidity 74%. Coops are 64% and 68%.
Sorry... I meant deep litter
