Hi all,
I need to know how cold is to cold in the coop at night for my 9 chickens? they sleep on two perches.
4 on one and 5 on the other.
its getting into the low 30s, and there all fluffed up.
I heard it depends on the breed. but I have no clue as to what breed they are? :sh

should I give them a heater?

will they be ok?

on of my little hens is molting ;doh
so I have a fleece coat on her. she doesnt have many feathers yet.

i am a bit worried tonight is so cold.
so will they be ok in the low 30s????

It never really warmed up here today from last night's low, and never made it up to 20. Still, the ladies were as eager as ever to get out of the coop this morning go see what they could scratch up.

As the cold relates to breed and cold hardiness . . . those with smaller, tighter combs are less prone to having them frostbitten than those with larger combs and wattles.
