im in northern Maine. ive had leghorns here for years and they survived -40 3x's last winter with no heat or insulation in the coop with no harm. i supplement with manna pro and cracked corn during the winter. as long as they are dry and protected from wind they will be fine.

Add natural cider vinegar to their water..the acidity first counteracts hard water, and then it keeps their digestive system in good pH for good probiotic health in their gut and may prevent a good environment for worms. 1-2 tablespoons per gallon, bit more for very hard water.

NJ here, I've had my chickens for a couple of years. I just put in their run, leaves to create a 2-4 in bedding. In their coop I lay down fresh bedding building it up so that there is a layer of insulation as it gets colder. They never have a huge build up if poop, because I just put another layer of bedding. Has worked well.

That video contains wonderful tips! I’ve only got 6 mos experience with my chickens. They’ve been doing a great job at training me….the girls walk up into my deck in the late afternoon and knock on my door. Mealworm time! 🐓🐓🐓 I’ve got heavy tree and shrub plantings for hiding spots. Always happy to hear the crows around me although we have some hawk pressure too. I’ve got sandy soil, so the girls love to dig out lil sand bath areas and usually pile in there 2-4 birds at a time. Chickens are amusing - I was NOT prepared for that aspect 😜

It also depends on the breed. Silkies cannot tolerate cold like regular chickens. After two winters of losing silkies to cold or pneumonia without heat, I started putting a heat lamp in and didn’t lose anymore. Never had sick chickens because of using heat. It just takes the chill out. Since my silkie and non-silkie birds are together I put a heat lamp in my coop during winter. I’ve had chickens for 20 years. If you’re careful about how to hang your lamp, you won’t have a fire danger.

It matters not that you had chickens for 20 years. I don't know how long you have used a heat lamp, but you are just tickling the dragon's tail. If you must use heat, use infrared screen or one of those pads (like the rubber ones used to warm the feet) or mount a chicken heat panel on a wall of the coop and use a cube with it, - set to go on when the temp goes below 35. There have been untold fires from using a heat lamp. Don't do it!

Mostly agree - especially about being careful regarding heat lamps and fire in the coop. However, we literally went from summer to winter in a week's time this year from 72 degrees F to freezing. The massive change in such a short period triggered a crazy molt in most of my birds. It is FREEZING at night and they are mostly without their feathers! We try to bolster them with sunflower seed snacks at night for the fats (energy) and protein (feather production.) The only ones still laying (two birds) have not yet molted. Yes, they get closer to each other and fluff up what little feathers are left. In the meantime we've carefully secured a heat lamp in the coop away from flammables and anything that could injure our birds and have it on during the night to take the edge off the cold. They are (thankfully) getting their feathers back. Poor things look like big 'ol pincushions with all those pinfeathers going on!

You can also feed table scraps as treats ... and contrary to popular belief...chickens are carnivores..in my area we have copperhead snakes and I've seen my ladies take them down as well as other small critters

Great video. I'm in Northeaster Pa. Winters are pretty tough. My chickens have no problem. I never use supplemental heat. I even have the breeds you mentioned to avoid. No problems. Like you said acclimation is the key. Cracked corn in winter and a good sealed up coop for them to go in at night. I meet people who loose birds in winter. Then I see there coops....bunch of chicken wire and perches. No protection from the weather. That just won't work here. Must have a enclosed coop with a door that you shut at night. Fresh warm water in morning.

My chicken is going through a hard molt right now, (started losing feather 3 days ago) Shes a Rhode Island Red and has been through one winter already and did fine except very mild frostbite that I know how to treat now, she’s going bald already on her chest, back, under her wings and her tail and wing feathers. I live in Illinois so it’s pretty cold here, the other chickens I have are an Easter egger, blue laced red Wyandotte and midnight majesty maran. I was thinking about putting a light in the run considering she will go bald, should I bring her inside in a cage or? I just feel like it will be to cold for her without anything. I am also going to put up a tarp on both sides of the run to limit the wind, I don’t know really what to do considering I’m 12 me and my mom and dad didn’t consider she would go through a hard molt this late in winter. It would mean a lot if you could respond I need help!!

Heating a coop isn't always a no no. There's dozens of Utube videos on chicken coop winterizing. Always take into consideration the climate and location. If winter temperatures dip into single digits or below °0 like the Upper Peninsula of Michigan frost bite is a real problem even for hardy winter breeds of chickens. Proper ventilation and coop build is critical. As long as the heat is managed properly and air quality is a priority it works fine.

Great video! I have banties and live in Maine. Even at 40 below they do fine. I've known too many folks who've lost their flock because they had a heat lamp that caught fire.

You don’t need to currently live in a cold climate to have the correct knowledge on the subject. My dad grew up in extreme cold climate and has been raising chickens over 60 years. I have other family currently living in extreme cold, and friends. Just because I don’t choose to live in that climate, doesn’t mean I can’t help others.

Thank you for your informative and enjoyable video! This is my first time raising chickens. I got them late in the season, so that they are not yet laying. Was wondering about using the heating device (looks like a small tv with little legs) as we have some low 30’s temperatures coming up. So thanks for your advice, think I’ll let them grow feathers! ❤

Sometimes stress can lower their immune system. Good time to give them immune system building treats to eat, and supplement vitamins in water
