If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
Winterize poultry houses well before autumn crumbles away into winter. It takes time to inspect fans, belts, pulleys, brooders, vent doors, generators, etc. to ensure everything is in working order before we find ourselves stuck in colder weather. Focus on winterization chores now, before the woods turn lovely, dark and deep and the cold, melancholy days of winter descend upon us. Between flocks is the best time to inspect equipment and address any deficiencies you may encounter.
