I would like to raise chickens for eggs but wonder how much work they would be.
I have been talking to my hairdresser (sounds strange, but she has chickens) about how well insulated a chicken coop would need to be (We live in East Tennessee). She said they don't need an insulated coop, that their's doesn't have any and the chickens tolerate cold weather, but don't lay in the cold. I question this for we, like may others, have been having the coldest winter in a long time.
Do chickens need a warm nesting coop and are they a lot of work?
