Chicky Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 It is -10 outside where I live, I have put a blanket over the eglu and they are well covered. Do I need to take any further precautions ie. bring them inside. We have only had our chickens 2-3 years and our chickens have not been through this cold weather before!!! Please help we want the best for our chickens!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
