Roosting: Chickens love to roost so make sure your chickens have plenty of warm dry places to roost.
Plenty of Litter: Make sure you Chicken have a thick layer of litter. you can use anything from wood, stray and we even use a mixture of leaves. It Should be about 8-10 inches thick.
Check Coop: Make sure to check the coop for any holes or drafts. Make sure to keep some ventilation to the coop though.
