Rob, if you look at the chart up above it covers the 5 basic types of climate. I’m in Kentucky, which is a mid-atlantic state or a midwest state OR a southern state depending on your map (although I’m a Southern boy myself, thanks!). Anyway, the climate here changes from one side of the state to the other so you really have to just look at the information I put up there and use your best judgment as to which one applies to you. For instance, if you live in Greenland and you could use the extreme cold suggestions from Canada.

Yes, that was the main point to keep safe conditions. And if you want some stuff about feeding your flock, flip back through the old blog posts here. A lot of information about that here.

This is our first winter with our flock so this advice comes at the right time. Our barred rock hens don’t seem to mind the temperatures with their natural insulation. They continue to roost and chase everything that moves as normal. I think the point of your article is the damp environment and the dangers presented, aka, black mold (OH NO). Yes, the whole coop and run seems to be continually damp, even down here in Texas! Welcome to January. The steps presented to prevent mold and fungi buildup are welcome to this newbie. BTW, the eggs are the best we ever ate, and for the cost of compost scraps and some chicken feed no regrets here!
