Cool - I use hyper-ventilated tractors and coops, but I have a warmer climate, so I am not usually dealing with the "cold vs ventilation" frostbite dance. Let us know if its good/worth having as a reference.

OMG, that shirt is awesome!!!! (And congrats on the cabinet!!!) - Ant Farm

Thank you so much for posting this. This is EXCELLENT. - Ant Farm

Bee, your birds look great! When my Cream Legbar cockerel was attacked by terriers while protecting the flock, I had to "bathe" him every 2-3 days to help his wounds heal (no soap - hydrotherapy). It was a long process for both of us, but he enjoyed it a lot (especially the blow drying part -...

OMG, I think you just won the Internet!!! - Ant Farm

That is SO cool!!!!!!

I agree with this. I have Cream Legbars and Naked Necks. The Cream Legbars are relatively sweet (handled a lot as chicks), but still not cuddly and hard to catch if you need to - some people call them "flighty". They are AMAZING at appropriate instinctual reactions to hawks (we have them nesting...

Weird double post...

So glad you're ok and they chickens are ok! My coops are under a red oak for shade in our hot climate, but I admit to being very fearful of the risk of something like this taking them out... Good luck on your repairs. Maybe give the sapling some time to come back - it might surprise you next...

I looked into wing bands, but ended up going with numbered colored zip ties when I had 25 chicks to keep close track of (so I can't advise you on wing bands, though they do look promising). Depending on how many birds you need to keep track of, Stromberg's sells colored zip ties that are...

I have wanted to plant chick peas for my own consumption for a while now, but haven't quite threaded the needle, so to speak, with climate and timing here in South Central Texas. They're not supposed to like hot dry weather OR cool wet weather (and we usually only have either of these), but...
