The poor girls must be in shock with the cool weather. The coop was 45 degrees this morning. Little do they know, this is just beginning. We have a 100 watt light bulb inside the coop. We'll start using it when it approaches 30. They don't need it, but obviously will be more comfortable and will keep their indoor water from freezing. An electric dog bowl will do the trick outside. Rumor has it they will love scratching out in the snow. Their breeds are winter hardy so they should do well. 'Tis the season for grasses going to seed. They love nibbling on the seeds of the grasses, pumpkins and squash. Zucchini flesh too.
