Your coop is lovely, and I see no reason that your girls won't live long happy lives in it.

What a crock! My older hens are going into their fourth winter and doing just fine. In fact, they just finished a molt and are back to laying.

Ok, now that I stopped laughing. Sometimes a chicken will die from the cold, for many reasons, But there are many cold hardly breeds. I have had chickens live 10+ years (yes some aged closer to 15+) and our weather here can be crazy. The last 2-3 years we have had snow. I have only lost very few to the cold, more to the heat (now that can be a killer). I did lose a rooster about 2years ago to the cold, but he was around 10yrs old (give or take a couple of years). He died next to his hen. That was a sad day. He could have just died of old age though.
But a 3yr old cold hardy chicken should not to the cold. There are always exceptions though (how cold, illness, etc.).
And Love the coop.
