Electricbarbarella Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I know it's a weird question but as of today we are down to 4 chickens and I am now worrying that they are going to be cold in the winter in the cube as obviously there is a lot of space in there.

Jools Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 They'll be fine - they're wearing feather duvets afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 We had 3 chickens last year and they were fine....this year we have 7 and 2 houses. There is the odd night where all the chickens decide its cool to sleep in the other house and forget to tell someone...last night it was poor ruth, she put herself to bed as normal in the 'cool' house...then everyone else went to bed in the 'new' house...poor ruth(I moved her in with the others for company but she was really warm, even though she was on her own!

Dizzy-Deb Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I only have two in mine and so far they seem fine. They snuggle up in the nest box when its a colder night. Am hoping to add a few more later on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken deficient Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 sounds like somebody needs some more chickens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have 5 in a cube and I never close the door at night (I'm not a morning person ) and if I ever check them late at night, one or two of them are huddled together right at the entrance with their heads peeping out - even when we had snow!
