Lowest coop temp?

[leighks]

You must have missed this part:

No I saw it, just wondered if you ever tried it. A long time chicken keeper suggested it and said he never had a case of frostbite with his flock

That’s ridiculous.. birds have nice warm down jackets with a body temp if 104 degrees. They do not feel the cold like us naked apes do...

If it is “inhumane” how do you explain all the grouse, partridge, turkeys, eagles, crows, and hundreds of little tweety birds that live outdoors every winter in 30 below temps?..


Btw for those of us here 30 degrees would be near impossible in our coops in the winter.

Didn't you know??? God has heated barns hid in the woods

I tried it... it was a fast failure that made a greasy mess that I needed to fix.

34 degrees. I would never subject my birds to anything colder. It is inhumne. I use ceramic heating panels.
