The saying around here goes, "If you don't like the weather..wait 30 min. cause it'll change". We have extremely cold temps occasionally in Chicagoland winters and I am concerned my first flock will freeze. The last few days it has been 33highs and 20lows and they seem fine but It's going to eventually be even colder. My coop is well ventilated but not insulated, I made sure to get all cold hardy breeds but at what temps does it become unsafe for them. I mean if I have a heated dog bowl to keep water from freezing will that be good enough. I don't even have a light in there for any boost of temp. And this may be a dumb question but will they stay inside if it is just too blustery out on there own or are they too stupid and should I keep their pop door shut on those days? Thankyou, Claire
