    Winterizing in the South

    Thank you! I'm thinking about hanging shower curtains around 3 sides of the roost to block the rain but leave one side open that doesn't get wind. There should still be plenty of ventilation

    Winterizing in the South

    I don't think we've ever seen 0 degrees.... we would need FEMA, the National Guard, and Drew Brees to come out of retirement for help. I like your straw bales and I could definitely string up a shower curtain on the one side that gets rain. Thank you!

    Winterizing in the South

    Its not the greatest pic, you may have to zoom in, but the open air coop is behind the little white laying house. It just has a four poles that hold up a tin roof and a roost bar. Its pretty long so I might just divide it and enclose half of it.

    Winterizing in the South

    Hey yall, this is my first "winter" with my hens and I live in South Mississippi. My girls lay in a modified dog house with the opening facing the north but their roost is a lean-to with a slant roof and no sides. It has worked great for the Summer because its shaded and breezy but I'm worried...

    Aww sorry about your rooster. I've been seeing a lot of roosters for sale in Craiglist. I've used that website to find all of my hens and there has been an abundance of roosters available lately.

    What happened to my hen? Heat stroke?

    I might try this again but my chickens have ignored my cucumbers, squash, and watermelons in the past :rolleyes:

    What happened to my hen? Heat stroke?

    I'm so sorry for your loss. This just happened to me today. My brown leghorn was face down in her dirt bath area. I placed her in cool water for about 30 mins but she still wouldn't drink. She seemed a little more aware after I did this but then she passed away during the night. I feel like a...

    Since Hurricane season is around the corner I'm looking for advice from people who've been through one with chickens. Should I move them into a fully enclosed area like a workshop? They are not in a flood zone, but there are major oak trees over their coop and run. Any suggestions would be...

    Hey, for this first time I'm looking for hens. I'm in D'Iberville but work in Long Beach. So I'm all over the Coast on a daily basis.

    Hi 'Sipps, anyone from South MS? I'm looking to start my coop and I'm looking for some laying hens. Any suggestions on what breed? I'm looking for Rhode Island Reds but definitely open to suggestions. Happy to have found a Mississippi group

    Hey Yall!

    I'm located in South Mississippi, minutes away from the Gulf of Mexico. I just built my first coop and excited for my first flock. This first coop is small so I'm only looking for 3-4 chickens until I can upgrade. Anyone else from South MS on here that could give me some tips on where they...
