Last year with our guinea hens we left a heat lamp high in the coop for heat, for under 20 degrees. I am in NH and it does get really cold, and the coop has NO insulation. I have been stocking it with plenty of hay and bedding for warmth. Any ideas???? Thanks Don't want my girls and guys to freeze.
Quote:Do you just have guinea hens, or chickens, too. I don't raise guineas, so I don't know how much cold they can easily tolerate, but a few of my chicken girls were voluntarily sleeping outside at sub-zero (°F) temperatures just fine. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=97134 Keep the drafts down, and their down can handle the cold. For the guineas, keep an eye on them... if they start to huddle and show signs of being too cold, then perhaps give them some heat.
