Should I cover the coop???

[Chicky Crazy]

With a tarp? I have four 24week old chicks and some hens. 33 will be the low tonight.

Do you mean the run, or an open air coop? It would help if you provided pictures.

Yes, i would cover the coop. Make sure to leave a few small holes so it does not get too stuffy. Chickens do good in cold temps, but drafts can cause problems.

Ok, any other ideas how to make the coop warmer?

Giving them bedding would help, but it would probably fall through if you didn't lay anything down first. That would be up to personal opinion. I think they will be just fine if you cover the sides with tarp.
