Hello everyone.

The temperature has been dropping all over the country recently, and winter is finally here.
The weather is getting colder at Ark Tategamori, and it is not uncommon for the minimum temperature to drop below zero.
Meanwhile, to protect the chickens from the cold and avian influenza, they are no longer allowed to graze and are kept in free-range cages.

In addition, to mitigate the cold as much as possible, we take various measures such as sealing gaps in the chicken coops and insulating the windows with vinyl to prevent cold air from reaching the chickens' height.

Although chickens can tolerate the cold to a certain extent, it is important to keep them warm in this weather.
At the same time, too much humidity can have a negative effect on chickens.
Therefore, the balance of humidity and temperature is important information when raising chickens.

Finally, although the cold weather is still continuing, we would like to continue raising our chickens well.
