    Yes I do. Here is my roo with one of the girls. You can see the big difference in their combs. I should qualify that with if they are sebrights, yes. Each breed is different.

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I can certainly understand Blooie, I am freezing all winter...just can never get warm no matter what I do or how many layers I wear. I think I'll watch the little buggers a little longer and see if they are consistent abt where they sleep. I'm sure that'll tell me more. I'd hate to turn it...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I'm in southwest MI, our low temps at night are abt 65-70 degrees daytime temps in the high 80's low 90's. They are cooped in a barn and the barn stays cooler during the day and warmer at night. I don't have an exact temp though I am always comfortable in there lol but I don't have feathers!

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Mine don't get bread often and I usually only put it in the coop so they get it instead of the dogs, lol My dogs and chickens coexist really well so far except they eat a lot of the same food!

    Coop Brooding vs Indoor

    So, my new babies are brooding in the coop with no ability to leave their brooder, but today I saw them acting like they wanted to get out to interact with the bigger chicks. Any suggestions on when I should make them a hole to use to go in and out of their safe zone? The older chicks are...
