[CHICKENS-101] Re: My chickens are freezing

 

Do you have straw on the floor? If you can't get straw, hay is almost as good.  Plus they will nibble on whichever one you put down. That will help them a lot.  Maybe a second heat bulb rather than one 250.  I kept chickens many years in sub zero without heat source.  Main thing is to keep their feet off of the ground or floor so they do not freeze.  Plus try to block off the draft.  tarps, more plastic blankets whatever, that will  help too.
