Chicken Egg 17
Songster
deb/perchie.girl picked up on what i was getting at. At those temperatures and with good ventilation (not drafts) the chickens are doing very well...they're better adapted at dealing with the cold than they are heat. There are people with chickens down whose winter temps get down into the -20's and -30's who use no auxiliary heat and their birds do good. Do a search for "P.T. Woods" and "Open Air Poultry Houses".
Best wishes,

Well I lost one of my birds due to the cold this year it was 16 degrees out i think and I open the coop and she was froze solid by the time I went to let them out in the morning.
