I agree. Ventilation is very important. Susan

Marvin,
When you say you taped the vents closed- are they low to the ground
and causing a draft? If not, I would open them up! More chickens die from poor
ventilation than cold. Good air quality is much more important than the
temperature, as long as they are not wet or in a draft that could chill them.
They will fluff up their feathers and roost close together and maybe even put
their heads under a wing.
I rarely worry about the temperature, other than a brooder light
that turns on at 3am and provides some warmth.
