Looks like our temps are going to dip down into the 20's tonight. I am wondering if I should bring my 6 week old Pekin inside? For the past 2 weeks she has been inside our garage at night in a pen lined with straw and a hut inside that insulated around it with a really thick blanket. I haven't been worrying, but now that we are getting this low I am not sure if I should. She has no drafts in there, and is mostly feathered now. What do you guys think??

If she wasn't alone with the shelter you describe I wouldn't hesitate to leave her out. Since she is alone I would add supplemental heat. (run an extension cord and the lamp)
 
Thanks, that was what I was just thinking too. I am trying to see if I can find an extra lamp. I had one break, and now have the new one with my new little one. I will find some supplemental heat for her like I used to out there. We haven't had to worry about this cold of temps lately....ugh, where is SPRING?? lol
