What do you do in winter to protect in freezing weather?
We use a clear tarp or clear plastic sheets to cover parts of the end wall. Ventilation is important, even in winter, but you want to block the wind. Most chicken breeds are cold hardy so heat is a much bigger stress than cold. In most climates chickens can keep themselves warm as long as they are out of direct wind. You could also add a heat lamp or radiant heater by hanging it from the cattle panels if needed. If in a very cold climate I would suggest having a wider roost bar so they could tuck their toes completely underneath them for warmth.
