So we recently had 2 large rain storms back to back and with the change in temperature, it has made it very humid with freezing temps in the morning. We recently noticed one of our roosters started getting a little frost bite on his waddles and comb. So I came up with a simple cheap solution that is easy to maintain and can be removed in the summer if it gets to hot.

Using some thermal reflective insulation and a couple pieces of irrigation tubes I was able to quickly insulate above their perches. Its weather proof easy to replace/add to and easy to clean. We will see how well it works. I am hoping it will hold in the heat they generate at night and create enough of a barrier between the tarp (which freezes in the morning and their heads, to prevent any further issues..
