I know we are still in summer time but giving a thought to the colder months already.

 

Is the Cube ok for the chickens in Winter time ? is it warm enough for them or do you maybe put a cover over the cube to help insulate it a bit more ? I havent seen any winter covers for sale (maybe a marketing idea there ).

 

What do you all do ? thanks xx

Mine were fine all through the big chill last winter - even when the Cube had a foot of snow on it!

In fact it melted far more slowly than anywhere else,which shows how good the insulation is.

Mine were fine in their cube all last winter and seemed quite warm when I went to check on them. I suppose they are wearing their own duvets really

I just covered the run in the cold spells just so they have some grass,

They need the ventilation that the cube has to prevent condensation, That would make them cold.

Last winter the temp inside the cube was lovely & toasty when I went out each morning to open it to let my girls out

Nothing is needed to go over it to keep it cosy.

We had -12 last winter. I put in a hot water bottle or two and they didn't come out for a week (not in that snow!) but demanded room service. But they were and are fine.

Mine were absolutely fine. Door left open through the snow showers etc.
