Re: How cold is too cold?
I'm the worst chicken owner ever, the guilt most days. My poor little girls picked back up in laying and yesterday I slept in, they didn't get water until 9:30 that's about the third time since Christmas and then today I went out in the afternoon but they already were up on the roots for the night since it's so cloudy and the water was completely frozen, they may have not gotten a drink before bed. Six eggs again today, someone on this team is a slacker and it's not a chicken!

Your chickens clearly aren't suffering.

Thanks for the information baron. I have seen those wood stoves on TV shows. I'm going to check it out.

https://www.ironash.ca is a canadian distributor of Kimberly and Katydid stoves
and if you heat with wood (or want to) you need a copy of Norwegian Wood by Lars Mytting, this book (and a runaway success) about the culture of wood harvest and techniques, old and new. $31 hardcopy

About Happy's post, don't tell your ins company. Be very careful, it is my guess that it would void your insurance if you had a fire.

When we were installing the wood insert one of the questions they asked me was if the electric baseboard heat would still be my primary source of heating my house (this was the primary heat source prior to installing the insert) I said no. They replied that they would not insure a home that primarily heated with a wood stove and I had to backtrack and explain that baseboards would still be set to come on as required and they would not be disconnected or uninstalled. I'm guessing that a wood burning furnace would be different in the eyes of an insurer but in their opinion the insert was not sufficient ffor the size of my home and would not be reliable and consistent.
