Hi,
I normally am not worried about the cold. I do have a heat lamp in there that I only use when it gets below 10F. It's a fairly large coop, but I can close the doors and I do have a small vent hole in the top. What worries me is that my Maggie is almost 11 years old and my Jersey Giants are not quite a year yet (they will be in March). Is the heat lamp enough? It's installed on one side of the coop, so they could move away from it if they got too warm, but I'm just wondering if it's warm enough at -15 (tomorrow night). I don't want to lower it, because I'm afraid they will touch it and hurt themselves or burn the coop down.
