Our temps are dropping! Pullets are now 8 weeks… lows are getting lower! This weekend dropping to 16. Currently have a super secure cozy coop, no drafts. I have a heat plate thats stands upright. Current lows have been 28-32 and they have been great. Im worried about the upcoming temps! Tips appreciate! First time raising chickens in cold temps! Pic

Nice Coop!
I would love to see inside too, I really like this ❤️

I think at 8weeks they should be fine. They have a heat plate to also get a little warm up if needed.

I don’t think this’ll be a big issue—the chicks seem to have grown plenty of feathers, so just keeping an eye on their condition should be enough:wee
