That's the theory, but, it needs moisture and that is not good for inside a cold climate chicken coop....if it was even warm enough to keep 'cooking' once temps drop.


With adequate ventilation, temps and humidity should be about the same inside coop as outside coop.

Tho at -30° C or F doesn't matter with that number you may need a heater.

Thank you! I have a heat lamp and took a ton of new bedding out and really packed it in good. They are much happier and warmer! I’m actually surprised how much it helped, even without starting compost first! I will be ready next winter, thank you for the article!
