Chickens in Negative Temps! (No Heat Lamp) | How To Care For Chickens In Winter
Keeping chickens in harsh winter conditions without heat lamps is not only possible but simple!
I buy whole animal grains from azure standard; this is a really economical way to buy organic feed as I do not have a local mill. If you want my recipe for chicken feed let me know in the comments and I could do a video on that in the future. Check out azure with my link here- https://www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=Aqm6NKlEuR I love their bulk animal grain options!
Recap + More Info:
1. Chickens are easy keepers!
2. They will eat fluffy snow to supplement their water supply.
3. Use a saltwater bottle in their water bowl to keep it liquid longer.
4. No need for a heat lamp! Insulate your coop with1.5" rigid insulation to keep them cozy.
(Floor + Walls)
5. No cross breeze in your coop! Keep your ventilation at the top well above their roosts.
6. Don't keep your chickens cooped up in their house for too long. They need to be able to go outside during the day but can be tucked in overnight to keep them extra warm and safe from predators.
7. If they do not have a covered area where they have access to bare ground to dig in and dust bathe, they would benefit from a dust bath. Simply fill a container (like a small kiddie pool) with one or a mix of sand, peat moss, or plain old dirt.
We have had temps down to -30 F using this method!
If you have any questions or would like to see a more detailed video on any particular aspect, let me know in the comments!
Have a wonderful New Year!
