Hello everyone!
I’m looking for any and all of your best advice on how I can build a winterized chicken coop that’s made for extreme cold weather.
Also wondering about what the best bedding to use for winter would be?
I’ve read in a few places about layering hay, which helps to keep the coop warm, makes awesome compost and you don’t have to change the bedding often.
It just doesn’t sound sanitary to me so I’m wondering if you guys have any info on that aswell.
Also any ideas for keeping their water liquid in freezing temperatures? I currently use a plastic white and red waterer.
I’ve never had chickens before and I certainly don’t have any ideas for winter yet.
My chickens will start laying when winter hits so I’m alittle curious how that will go.
Thank you!!
