Hey Everyone! I just had a quick question regarding a couple of my chickens...and our turkey...
We started getting down to 23 degrees here at night in South Carolina, and a few of our birds are just NOW molting. Our turkey is nearly half nude and I can easily tell she is cold by the way she picks her feet up and shivers. I wanted to ask if 20-35 degree temps are OK for birds, and if I should add supplemental heat to the coop?
--Our coop is a highly ventilated design as we have some brutal summers....even adding a heat source probably won't trap the heat. --
