Heat: no
If yes on heat, what method do you use (lamp, flat panel, etc.)?:
Insulated coop: no
Amount of ventilation (approximate sq.ft.)you employ during the winter: peg board floors, with planned leakage at the roof line and small round vents in the walls that can be covered.
Coop size: 4x6 3 coops
Litter method: normal, pine shavings and shredded paper
#of chickens in coop: 12-13
Location (city and/or state and/or zone): Texoma zone 7
How many winters have you been through with your chickens?: 1
(Optional) briefly describe how your flock has fared using these methods: my flock is young, they are usually moved from the garage in Dec, before we get cold in Jan. We generally get temps in the 20s at nights after Christmas and for about 60 days. We rarely have more than a couple 3 days where it is below freezing for the entire 24 hrs. It is just cold enough to be irritating, not real winter like OH
