They are barnyard animals - a lot of people lose sight of that. It’s like being wrapped in a comforter all night.

ok, I guess I am forgetting they are farm/barnyard animals, also I'd love to have a portable comforter

Yup, and their feathers are partially waterproof as well. You just want very good cross ventilation so that when their breath causes humidity, it has somewhere to escape. If there’s nowhere for it to go, it will settle on their combs and cause frostbite (toes seem to not be as much of an issue, since their feathers cover them as they roost). And I say this all the time, but remember chickens survived long before humans tamed them and started caring for them and building them coops. And no water in the coop overnight!!

We have four chickens in out coop and as far as we know no ventilation problems.

Post pics of coop, inside and out, for assistance in winterizing.

the younger ones are probs around a little less then a year they haven't started laying yet so I'll say 7-8 months.

Then they should be fine.
