Likewise, can chickens survive winter without heat? Chickens can live quite comfortably in temperatures below zero, even without a supplemental heat source. Chickens very rarely show signs of distress in cold weather and can survive just fine up to -10 degrees Fahrenheit (and some chickens can do just fine when it drops lower than that).

Consequently, do chicken coops need to be heated?

If you cannot be persuaded that chickens do not need supplemental heat inside a properly managed chicken coop in the winter, find a safe heat source such as a flat panel radiant heater that brings the temperatures up just a few degrees. Chickens can and do die from sudden, extreme drops in temperature.

Is there a heater that runs on batteries?
