SallymaySteven Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi guys Asking advice again. They are saying it might get to minus 8 where we are tonight. Now Maggie and Helga are in a wooden coop built for two and I was wondering if they will be ok or if I need to do something more. Worried about my girls in the cold. I keep their food and water inside so it doesn't freeze etc. Will they be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 As long as they're dry and not in a draught, they should be ok. Although the Eglu is insulated I never close the door on mine, and my hens have never shown any ill-effects. They will snuggle up together under the double-duvets that they're wearing and be fine.

Grandmashazzie Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 When it gets really cold I put a pet heat pad in.You can get them quite reasonably from Amazon.They probably don't need it but it makes me feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
