I'm in New England where we've been dealing with zero, near zero and sub-zero temps.
Chickens are fat and happy.
Today, when I went out to feed them I found eggs. I don't mess around with their coop in this cold and realized they've been laying for at least a couple days.
Eggs were frozen and cracked.
I have a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Rock.
I was told they'd stop late fall (They did and molted around November) and wouldn't start again until it got lighter and warmer outside...like March.
They have no supplemental light or heat lamps. Plenty of food, treats and a nice heated water bowl, though. And they look fatter than ever.
