We have 19 chickens and four ducks. It very quickly has dropped in temperature to about -10 at night and maybe 3° during the day. I went to check on the birds this morning and it looks like our ducks are literally shaking from the cold. The coop is not large enough for me to feel safe putting a heat lamp of some sort in there but I’m worried and don’t know what to do for my birds! We have a tarp over one side of their pen/run area and are going to put up a second on the other but I’m just still so worried!! What else can I do to help them? Should we make a home in the garage for them until the temp warms back up in a few days? The chickens seems to be doing fine but I can’t tell.
