In extreme weather, chickens will benefit from a shelter that keeps the wind and snow off them. Like all animals they will freeze or get frostbite if the temperature drops well below zero for long periods. Chickens in a flock will gather together to help maintain warmth and a couple of 100 watt light bulbs in the chicken coop will provide sufficient heat to keep them healthy.
