I was actually thinking about a little cardigan But I dropped the idea, figured it would be more of a bother for the hens.I think a lil chicken jacket is in order! Lol.
I like the light idea to take the chill off esp at night and the early morning.
Be careful as some can be a fire hazard and the girls won't be able to escape from the flames nor heat.
That place must have been terrible.
I think the light is optimal and I think I will just buy a lower W bulb (I think 75W) and either keep it throughout the coldest nights until the hens grow their feathers back or set some interval with a digital timer. I still feel like the light could not only help with the heat, but also with their immunity, healing any wounds and growing the feathers.
Yes, the place was absolutely terrible... I was in shock to see the conditions in which the hens are kept there...
