Chickens spend more time in the coop during the winter months, and keeping the roost clean and accessible to your birds during this time actually helps your flock stay warm and dry.

We want to hear from you - share a photo of your flock hanging in the coop this winter in the comments!

There’s a common misconception that you don’t have to clean out the coop as much during the winter months…but that’s not true! Your coop needs just as much attention in the winter—if not more—as in the other seasons.

Firstly, VENTILATION is key to help control moisture in the coop. Stay tuned for more tips this week or watch the full video on our Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/ubjK0jD3UZI.

Even though winter is just getting started, your birds will be gearing up to lay eggs in early spring.

If your birds lay eggs during the winter, they need a calcium supplement. If their egg laying pauses during winter, consider providing a calcium supplement in late winter as they prepare for laying in early spring.

Until then, you can watch our full video on caring for your chickens in the winter on Youtube: https://youtu.be/AgWNcEYHEnU.

Feather care in the winter is a key component to proper bird health. If your birds have any damaged feathers, they need extra support with a supplement like Recover 911 or some extra high protein treats.
