What Temperature Is Too Cold For Chickens?
The temperature that is too cold for chickens varies depending on the breed and age. Generally, chickens can tolerate temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C) if they have access to shelter from wind, dry bedding, and appropriate nutrition and hydration. However, some breeds and younger birds may start experiencing negative effects on their health at temperatures below freezing. It is important to monitor their behavior and body condition regularly during cold weather and provide additional heat sources or extra bedding if needed.
