We came up with a more balanced treat to serve up for your flock when the outside temperature plummets.
You may be wondering how to take care of your chickens in the winter and if it is going to get too cold for them to keep warm, especially at night. Chickens can handle reasonably cold temperatures and will be able to handle more than you may think.
