Is this temperature ok?

It is suppose to go down to 39 degrees tonight, is that ok weather for my chickens and ducks they are all in there house filled with hay will they be all right?

That will be fine. We are to get down to 20 tonight. My geese were out all winter last year. They had thier shelter and a bunch of hay to nestle in but most of the time they were out playing in the snow. If you birds are all fully feathered you shouldnt have any problem. Jenn

they will be fine, only worry if gets and stays below freezing. Should say OK for chickens not sure about ducks

Should be fine - we're going to be down to 28 tonight, its the second night (not in a row) of such cold, last one they did just fine!

My chickens have always slept outside (barring illness and isolation) and there's never been a problem. It get's down to about -10C (14F) here in the winter, and we've never had frostbite. However, if you are worried about frostbite then rub some vaseline on their combs and wattles.

Hi, make sure they have plenty of hay-it holds the heat really well. Karen
