The first year we didn't do anything except add extra hay and we moved the small coop into our cold frame greenhouse so that it would warm up in the day. This year, we put a heat lamp in there and will turn it on if it gets below zero.They are pretty hardy birds, but they definitely look healthier in the spring/summer/fall. Thanks for visiting!

I was doing a google search for chickens molting in the winter since one of my little hens has started doing just that. She's picked the coldest month to be outside naked in the cold. Did you end up doing anything special to help out your hen? I'd be interested in knowing. Thanks! Debbie Hi!
