    blueangel got a reaction from LFG in Cozy Coop Heater Won't work.   
    I clean my coop twice a year, spring and fall. In the fall I put in lots of shredded leaves and add the hay the goats don't want to eat as needed. I've never had any problems with frostbite with my chickens or peacocks. I do notice that on really cold nights the hens will make little nest depressions in the bedding instead of hopping up the roost.

    At the moment I have 3 in a woven wire fence with 2 strands of electric wire inside to keep them from climbing the wire. I have 3 others that I tie out during the day and put in the barn at night. I only tie goats when someone will be around to keep an eye on them. They are used to being tied and seldom get tangled but stray dogs and coyotes will make short work of a goat.

    Goats have to be "trained" to any type of electric fencing. They will run right over/through it if they aren't. You will also need to buy a fence charger that will deliver enough voltage to control the goats. Most net fencing will state how many stored joules are required per section. I've been raising goats for years, some will stay in an electric fence and some just don't seem to get it.

    ?I have Great Pyrenees  livestock guard dogs. When they blow out their winter coats, we gather up all the hair we can and place around the garden perimeter. Haven't had any issues with rabbits, groundhogs or deer in the garden since we started doing this.

    ?I must have screwy mice. They got into my storage cabinet and thoroughly enjoyed the irish spring and lave soaps. Hope the little buggers got indigestion.

    I have Great Pyreneese livestock guardian dogs. Right now they are in heaven. They each have a large paddock, shelter and food avaible 24/7. I provide warm water several times a day. They won't even drink it. They run around eating mouthfuls of snow and happily lay in the direct wind. I will agree most breeds aren't made for the cold but a few really seem to enjoy it.
