    Well, Wed afternoon I got them in the hen house closed the pop door filled up their food and fresh water and figured they could hunker down for a few days till it warmed up a little bit.

    bigzio, Why don't you use a water heater? It makes life much easier! I use this right now but before this I used a cookie pan heater with a light bulb inside. I have a 5 gallon galvanized waterer sitting on it. And I have another one when it gets low. I switch them out

    That's funny. I've gotten ready for winter a few times myself and tomorrow I'm going to do it again. Yesterday I put the plastic on the chicken run. So that's done I think.

    :lau :thumbsup I've always felt the same about basketball, give them 100 points and let them play for 3 minutes. I did start giving them black sunflower seeds so I'll see how long before I start seeing more than a few eggs from my 11 hens.

    Broody hen help?!

    Well, after 2 days in the crate, I took her back out. And let her mingle with the flock, and she still sat on the nest for a day or 2, but then she quit and since then, I've gotten maybe 1 extra egg a day. But now they're molting, and I'm getting less, so I'd say this was probably successful...
