Chicken coops for colder weather need to be draft free and dry. There is no real need for heavy insulation as long as wind chill and dampness are controlled. A few good size (100watt+) light bulbs will radiate enough heat to keep the flock comfortable. Roosts need to be at least 18 inches off the floor or higher for light breeds. Heavy breed hens will have difficulty getting higher. A good base of straw or wood chips on the floor will help hold heat in. Water containers need to be ice free and food dishes off the ground in deep covered floors for easy access.

How did they servife?
How do chickens survive the cold? Most are housed in buildings called coops which keep them safe from predators and the weather. Along with their housing, chickens are covered with feathers which keep them toasty warm on cold days.
What is inside of chicken bones?
Although you cannot see it with the naked eye, there is a small spot on the yolk of the egg called the Germinal disk. Prior to the formation of the shell, a sperm cell will attach itself to this disk. The shell is formed around the yolk and albumen as it travels down the oviduct. Under the right temperature and humidity conditions (incubation), that combining of germinal disk and sperm will start the embryo forming. I have provided a link that shows the actual day to day formation of an egg to a chick.
