    Thanks, I'm the same with troubleshooting, but except for the first summer (mites) they've been fine and it was me being a worry wart. That and the dog attack.

    Got the coop cleaned and fresh shavings in today. What a relief! Snow due Tues. This will be our 11nth winter here, the latest first snow since we moved in here ~2013

    Coop winterized here as well- have a new heater to keep the water from freezing, we'll see how it does. 17°F tonight with heavy snow squalls- chickens warm and happy! Been boondocking for a few months, son running the homestead-

    What brand of heater are you using?

    I haven't winterized my coop yet. It's only gotten down to the mid 30s a few times so far. I did norice they're starting to roost a little closer to one another.
