DO CHICKENS NEED HEAT IN THE WINTER? YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED!
What happens here
When temperatures fall below freezing, standard chicken waterers become useless due to ice. Use metal or rubber pans for water, as ice can be easily removed by inverting and stomping the pan. Refill with fresh water daily. Food management is similar; ensure consistent access to feed.
Goal: Provide unfrozen water and accessible food for chickens during winter
