Laura - I wondered about that. I knew they need ventilation. The vents are 2.5" x 12" near the ceiling. There's 2 of them. Think I'll remove the tape from one of them.
Thank you so much for the suggestion.
Do any members sell eggs? Just curious what you get for free range/dozen?

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.
