    Emergency Coop Heat Idea!

    I have an Eglu and I bought one of those heated dog bed things. . .that I can put under the roosting bars. . .it does not put off tons of heat but just a bit. Seems to work good. . .I also use a heated water bowl in the winter. So if you are close to electricity. . .might work for you.

    Ideal Poultry

    OK, they are out. The chicks are so little I wanted some feedback before trying to remove them. I clipped the bulk of it off and then wiggled it out. The chicks were uncomfortable for a second, but they are out now. I'm so new to chickens, and was just so glad to find a couple locally...

    I'll contact the feedstore and see if they can explain. This was my first experience buying chicks and I assumed these tags were usual. Hmmm. . .
