Got down into the single digits last night. When I woke up, it was a little cold in the trailer as the heater couldn't keep up. Thankfully we have nice, warm clothes and blankets.

Went to check on the hens before I took Fin to school, and didn't hear any of the typical soft clucks coming from inside the coop. I worried for a minute that I would find three frozen or catatonic hens. Like I said, I'm not one to do mouth to mouth on a chicken. Thankfully, when I opened the door, they were alive. Just quiet. I threw down some hay on the ground to keep their feet out of the cold snow and fed them some soaked bread, then added some more hay to the coop to give them a little more insulation.
