doesn't need to be heated so babies can live there. i am sure the chickens can survive without heat.
just thinking some nice passive solar, an array on the roof, and keep the place a little warmer than the outside. maybe a wood stove if i had some project to work on.

snowblower doesn't get too much work, btw. bought it one record breaking winter when i also broke a finger, and just went nuts and bought it. it gets used every 4-5 years.
got a lot more to keep clear now, tho.
