Their combs would get frost-bitten the first year and they’d lose a bit … but otherwise it didn’t hurt them. I just used a red-lamp for heat, base water heater for the double-wall galvanized waterer, and gave them 2×4 roosts mounted on the flat so they could hunker down on their feet to keep their toes warm. Worked fine and they were productive year ’round. Beautiful fully-feathered ‘calendar birds’ … very healthy.

I live high up in the north of England and we have some really cold winters. Barnies were developed in Northern Europe so are cold hardy.
