Hey I have 8 Rhode Island reds chickens this is their first year laying eggs and so far doing great. I'm concerned about up coming weather so far it's been very warm but I'm January it's supposed to be cold We keep them in a coup with solid walls on two sides with laying or brooder boxes on one side and the other two sides are solid half way up and open with chicken wire the rest of the way up with a metal roof.
My concern is in Jan and Feb the weather usually gets cold and I don't know how to protect my eggs or my chickens. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
