The temperature here in Wenatchee has been in the low teens and high 20's during the day for a couple of weeks. The hens go into the coop at night so we shut them in and let them out in the morning. The coop had a 25 watt bulb to give them their 17 hours of light but also heat. The water inside the coop started to freeze so we wrapped with heat tape. As the days have past egg productivity has declined. So I bought an infra-red heat lamp which really heated up the coop. I collected 5 eggs this morning fingers crossed will get 9.
