[Ag-eq] Chickens in the cold

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Tracy:

It doesn't get cold enough here, but I think people use heaters and heat lamps
in colder climates.

I've also seen heated water containers to keep their water from freezing.

You probably need to feed them more in the cold.  Eating helps keep the body
temps up.
