That would certainly make me sleep easier. How many chickens do you have? How big is your coop? Do you heat it at all? Is it insulated?
Probably 50 or so. My main coop is 8' w x 16' L I have several LF pens and many bantam cages & bins...it is fully insulated (walls & ceiling) and I use a deep layer of pine shavings on the floor. I have one 250w heat lamp and one 100w regular bulb on my Houdan bantams. The rest is chicken-power!
My other pens (duck & goose) are 16' x 16' with shelters, but not insulated or heated. My second coop is 6' x 6' and not insulated or heated but I moved those chickens into my main coop for now.
