Thanks for all the kind posts ... we're just crazy in love with our girls and love just sittin and watching them hours on end

We're still trying to decide what to do during the winter months ... there is no electric source --- I've talked with several people who have or had chickens and they said not to worry about the winter weather ... I just worry cuz it gets pretty cold here ... any suggestions for options without electricity

I'm getting quite attached to our girls and want to give them a good winter home

You can use an extension cord until you can get a more permanent solution (I had one that ran from the house to the barn for 6 years before we finally got permanent power out there). Check out the thread on how to make an inexpensive water heater (to keep their water from freezing) and how it can be used for a coop heater as well at https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=107951&p=1. You'll probably want to provide them with a night light as well.

REALLY good lookin' coop!

The only concern I would have with winter is where YOU'RE gonna sit, warm enough, to watch the chickens!
