    frost bite?

    Thank you for saying that they will be ok!!!!! Will their combs regenerate or always be like this? Yes we have a water heater. It's been holding up pretty good. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Crazy that they started laying in this bitter cold 4 days ago!!!

    Happy New Year to ME!!!!

    Thank you for your warm welcome! I do have a question...I read that if there is poop or stringy stuff on my eggs that means my ladies might need to be 'wormed'? I'm a natural gal so doing all I can to avoid the harsh stuff. Only have 7 of them in Nebraska.

    Happy New Year to ME!!!!

    We got our first 2 eggs today in 27 degree weather!!! We have 7 hens that we have raised from a day old, our first time! Met them at the end of June. Had to share our happy moment. This community has helped me learn SO MUCH and now I feel like I'm a part it:)
