Zoe Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hello everyone, I bough the eglu last spring and it has been great through summer. now that winter is coming, I am wondering what others do to bolster the insulations for their chickens. I only put straw in the nesting box, but am keen to hear what other do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Where are that Winter is coming??? Westeros? I wouldn’t use straw, as it is a bug magnet and all sorts of lice and mites can live in it. I only used straw when it was about -10 for a week this past winter. if you close the pop hole normal sized chickens will be perfectly fine in most weather. How cold does it get in winter in your place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
