Yup, my thoughts exactly. I can see it now, its 12 degrees and the power goes out. Birds are not hardened off to the cold and they die. I wouldnt do it. I am brooding 7 10 day olds with a heat plate in the coop, lowest temp so far this week about 30. It will warm up over the next month and I am guessing they will not need heat by week 4 or 5 then after that they will never need it. I live in the mountains about 5300' above sea level and we will see temps in the teens over the winter. My coop (link below) is well vented, one entire wall is pretty much open and there are 3 windows and upper vents. No insulation and no plans for heat. Good luck Gary
