Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Are you adding lots and lots of ventilation? Like to the tune of 1 sq ft per bird? And giving them plenty of space inside the coop? 4 sq ft of floor space and 1 linear foot of roost space per bird?
Keep it DRY and keep drafts off of roosted birds and have plenty of ventilation and the birds will do very well.

i am hoping so. I have 2 vents on the roof. 2 4x1.5 windows that open and 1 5x1.5 window that also opens. I have tried to arrange the roosts and nesting boxes so that they won’t be in a draft.

Hi there! Being new, I had a similar concern about how winter and chickens would fare together. If there's anything I've learned on BackYard Chickens, though, it's that if you have a question then there's a chicken (or bird) to recommend for that. Enjoy the forums!

Welcome to BYC! Best of luck staring out your chicken keeping journey.

And a wise chicken keeper in back of the answer! These folks know so much great advice here.
Welcome to BYC sounds like you studied before coop build which is great. Good luck.
