In the Brooder
We live in western ND, had -71 windchill yesterday morning and -43 this morning. We have radiant heater and heat lamps in our coops. They all huddle up under the heat and ride out the storm. Keep plenty of high energy feed in front of them at all times and do your best to keep water available. We also put down a thick layer of bedding under the heat sources and around feed and water. So far all the birds are doing well. Still laying eggs too. Our turkeys have access to a lean to barn but they prefer being outside most of the time. We do bed their area with a think layer of chopped corn stalks.
