I'll make you feel better!
My girls and boy are in a coop that is insulated on the north side, a shed on one side and the horse barn on the other side, the front is just wood panels - and their run out that way.
No heat at all - and we have about 4 inches of snow on the ground right now.... our low tonight is 22 which is a lot higher than it has been. We were down to single digits withing this last week. (I have added two bales of hay to make their sleeping area a little more cozy - to the side of their roost)
My flock is just find and dandy! I think the lowest the coop has gotten is 7 degrees! They came out in the morning when I opened their door - ALL fired up and ready to go.
