Hello All, My name is Marco, and I am new to the chicken world. I'm "chicken sitting" my wife's three hens while she & my daughter visit relatives for the holiday. The weather is going down to the teens at night this weekend, and I'm wondering if I should insulate the chicken's living space. They are housed in a corner of our barn, elevated about 3.5 ft off the ground. They have shelter from the wind, but I'm considering insulating (underneath) thier floor/platform. Is this a worthwhile project Should I not worry about the low temps...Thanks for your help, Marcopolo
