Tips on How to Save Your Chickens from Dangerous Winters
One of the main problems people have when they are building their chicken coops is how to properly insulate and build the chicken
coop so that the chickens are comfortable throughout the winter. There are many factors that go into this and many different ways in
which you can set up your chicken coop to combat this problem.
The first one being how you insulate your coop. You may do this in a number of ways. A simple way is to stuff the chicken coop with
hay, this way the chickens can insulate themselves better by huddling under the hay. Then they can transfer their heat to each
other by huddling closely. Another way is to use a light. The best light to use is a fluorescent. Make sure the light is not to bright or
the chickens will avoid it. Be sure to use a light that imitates the color of the sun. If not the chickens will not take it as real light and
get anxiety from the long winters affecting its ability to produce the optimal amount of eggs year round.
One thing to also remember when picking out a light to use in your chicken coop is using one that emits heat. The whole purpose of
the light is not only to act as false sunlight but to keep the chickens warm as well. Chickens are not affected by heat nearly as much
as the cold so doing this is imperative. All of these tips and step by step instructions are included in the chicken coop manual listed
