The coop should be weather proof all year around.Hi. looking for ideas in the best things to do for the chickens in winter to keep them heathy. Including weatherproofing coop. Any ideas would be awesome
Chickens lay best when they get 14 hours of daylight every day. They don't get that in winter. Some people have lights that come on hours earlier than dawn in the winter to encourage egg laying. If you do not supply extra hours of light to chickens they may not lay during the winter. Some people prefer letting the chickens have the rest from egg laying. Others want their chickens to lay. It's up to you whether you want to supply extra hours of light.What’s early morning supplemental lighting Is this to help with vit d levels because of long winter months ?
