Just as we have to bundle up in the cold temperatures, please don't forget about your chickens and hens! Extreme winter weather is hazardous to their health.
The temperature of your chicken coops must be regulated by the use of lamps. You don't want your chickens freezing to death! Although chickens can withstand high temperatures, freezing temperatures are a major killer.
You may also have noticed that chickens are punctual and like to maintain regular times. They leave the coop at daybreak and check in at sunset. Make sure your coop has a secure door you can lock after they're in for the night. Then open at day break.
If you don't want to do this manually, you can get automatic doors for chicken coops which will open and close at designated times!
