    Flu shot and sick as a dog...

    I refuse to get any flu shots..so many people get sick when they do. That just doesnt seem right to me to go get a shot that makes you sick. I hope you feel better soon.

    Should I let my girls outside when there is snow on the ground?

    We did everything we can for our chickens first winter. My husband insulated the coop and nailed up boards around the bottom of the coop so wind cant blow under the coop...he also put some plywood up to block the wind from cutting through their run...only a 3rd of it is protected from snow and...

    frozen eggs

    I think it would be okay to leave them out for an hour and then put them in the frig. My girls are on their roost by 5:30 so I go out and gather the last eggs then and lock them in for safety and warmth.

    Do chickens typically loose weight when winter sets in?

    My girls are still holding their weight..maybe they need wormed. Hopefully someone else will chime in soon. There are all natural wormers out there that you can use and still eat your eggs.

    Your quote that I am a great sinner and He is a great Savior! is such a great gift. Only those that see themselves as a great sinner will need such a great Savior. Their is a great website called audio sermons. I listen to Henry Mahan. There are alot of great preachers on that site, but...

    When to let my girls out to free range for the day???(Their Laying!!!)

    I let my girls out at 2 each day...the girls that havent laid do go right back in to their nest and lay. Its pretty incredible. If they are use to being in their coop and run all night and part of the day, they should go back into their coop to lay for you.

    When can my chicks be moved outside to the coop?

    If your coop is air tight move them now...keep the heat lamp on and make sure there is alot of shavings or hay on the floor. Go out with them and stay for a little while and make sure the heat lamp is set just right and that there is no way that anything can get to them.

    Which hatchery does TSC buy from?

    In Ohio they are ordered from Meyers and Mt Healthy. Call your tractor supply and ask..if the person answering the phone doesnt know ask for a manager. I did.

    Odor control (for chicks in the kitchen)?

    I keep mine in the basement with a heat lamp and change out the paper towel 3 times a day. What really helps is putting them in a hugh cardboard box. I taped cardboared boxes together until i had a 5 X 5 area for 6 chicks. After two week i started using shavings and laying paper towels on top...
