Here are my forecast lows for the week in F:
7, 9, -6 (yes MINUS), 2, 9
Here are my forecast highs:
22, 12, 16, 15
Right now it's 17F with 54% Humidity inside the coop and 11F 83% outside.
Those little bodies have provided 6 degrees of warmth.
They're amazing.
And I should just leave them alone, right?
The ventilation is good, the coop is clean and draft free, and late afternoon everyone got a crop full of warm crumble mash with a little coconut oil with a 1/4Cup/5 hens scratch sprinkled on top.
I'm itching to turn on the heat lamp, but with all the reading I've done about chicken keeping, they're going to be fine.
They're going to be fine.
right?
Oh, and we got our 2nd egg today. UNDER the coop again. So much for my carefully planned nesting tunnel.
