These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

I made a mini swamp cooler for my chicken hospital. I'm getting a 25° drop from ambient, I could get it colder by fixing some air leaks but it's already at 75° supply, which is a bit cold. Trying to break a broody hen right now. This could also be used to cool a coop. Costs about $50-75 to make depending on size.
