Hey Helen,
My sister is in Juneau, they had record snow last year with 200+ inches. The ski resort opened for Halloween and stayed open all winter, a first in Juneau history. Was Kodiak like that last year? Your birds probably were just molting, picking the worst season to do it in. The heat lamp is probably a good idea. Using a deep litter method would probably also generate some extra heat, as it composts in the coop.
Here in Texas, sixties this morning. Lovely!!!!
