Well this will be my first winter with two Rocks, a RI Red, and Wyandotte. I don't think we usually get too close to 0 degrees (in Rhode Island). So far we havent gone much below freezing. I'm trying Vaseline, I find it fairly easy to apply at night when I go to close the coop up and they are...
We have a tube feeder in the backyard that we can see from the kitchen window. Our son LOVES watching the birds come to it. One of his first words was BIRD !
Just getting started on a brood of 4; 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, RI Red, and a silver Wyandotte. All will be 3 weeks on Monday. Have in makeshift brooder in my garage. Going to build my Tractor Supply coop either this weekend or next...waiting for the rain to stop! :ya
