    Heat & humidity

    Have some 2 wk. old chicks and was going to put them out in a pen for the day. However it is very high humidity and temps for next couple of days. We have heat warning with the index to be 105 for the next day or 2. Do you think I should or not?

    Waterers and what works best in the winter

    I got a 15 gal plastic barrel and adder 4 nipples. Set it on a cinder block and put a aquarium heater in it. I also connected it to Thermo Cube to save on electric. We are away for a week or so a few times a year and did not want the chickens to run out of water while we are gone. The barrel has...

    Countdown To Eggs! For June hatches 😊
