They should be okay if they have a coop to go into. Do you provide any heat in the coop at all? I know most people don't but we have a couple ceramic black snake lights in ours that they can get under or not as they wish. Just keeps a couple slightly warmer spots for them, not a lot, just about 10 degrees warmer. And they are attached to the ceiling, so the chickens cannot knock them down.
I have one hen that is currently molting, and the temperature has stayed pretty much below 25 the past couple of days. She's been just fine, huddling with the other hens to keep warm most of the day. It got down to 15 this morning, and she was fine.
A merry Christmas to you as well!
Yep all day, flurries, and the weather app says non stop all night and all day tomorrowGood morning! Have a successful week before Christmas! Yesterday, found rat poo in one of the nesting boxes!So, discovered and excavated all the tunnels under the board panels that were in the ground around the coop. Dug a 6" trench and placed flat, rectangular concrete pavers vertically flush with the coop bottom board.
Wishing all of you a Blessed Christmas!
Yes, they have a coop, and others to sleep between. I have a flat panel heater, but haven't felt the need to use it.
They'll be fine as long as they have a draft free spot to shelter in, if they want to.
