Sidney Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I am new to chicken keeping. I got my 3 at 17 weeks old, 5 months ago. I have not yet shut the eglu door overnight. I just shut the run door at dusk and ooen this when I get up in the morning. At what minimum temperature should I shut them in their eglu at night?
