Well, winter is right around the corner here in MI and this will be my first winter with chickens. With the night time temps already getting down into the 50's and 40's are forecasted for this week, I'm wondering how cold is cold enough to lock them in their coop for the night? My chickens free range in an fully enclosed enclosure and I don't normally lock them up at night, they just go up to the highest point and roost. Tonight it will be going down to 50 degrees and I'm wondering if I should lock them up, or will they go in on their own if they get chilly? They are Deleware Whites and Red Laced Wyandottes.
Thanks
