The most helpful and informative article I have read so far here in BYC. Thank you for going into such great detail. I am now off to rearrange my Serama shed design draft.
I don’t believe in encouraging people to use heat. It’s a fire hazard (especially the kind shown in the picture in the article) and it’s dangerous for the birds if the power goes out and they’re not accustomed to the temperature. I prefer to see encouraging proper winterizing.
Very insightful. I am a new chicken keeper and thirst for knowledge in how to keep my flock healthy and happy. I appreciate what I have learned here and definitely gained a better understanding of my cockerels and the behaviors they exhibit. I believe I will be referring back to this article many times as they grow and show new behaviors.
