    Keeping my meat birds warm during this cold snap

    From the looks of it they should be fine! Chickens when cuddled can produce tons of heat. I just feel bad u have to be in the cold like that! I live in Florida and it's like 60 degrees and I'm freezing my nose off. Gee, to think its cold here lol

    Am I supposed to clean her beard?

    I have chickens with beards too. (I love the beards lol I named one Bearded Lady lol) but normally the other hens will gently peck it out of her beard.

    Scared of squirrels or just love their coop?

    Lol yeah I should have been more clear. Just because a couple things from experience is one make sure the wire doesn't have too big of holes, racoons will stick their paws in and it won't be pretty. Also something could dig up and bottom becomes sharp or top so basically make sure its in well...

    Scared of squirrels or just love their coop?

    That's defiantly an idea. Maybe chicken wire if it doesn't bother the chickens. Do you have a rooster?

Normal squirrels and chickens leave eachother alone, so it's...

    Is this a Roo??

    Umm, can't exactly tell until... its, fully mature. She could just be taking charge and he/she looks like that. Wait to hear cockadoodleing while keeping in mind hens can cakadoodle too to copy a rooster. Hope this helps! :)

    Limping, with video

    Bruises, soreness, worms, mites, ingrown nails, needing trimmed nails may all be a possibility. Make sure she's not being pecked at there and all her roosting spots are stable. She could have fallen while sleeping. Hope this helps!

    Chicken losing ability to walk

    I'm so sorry! I had a couple thoughts, one is does she have worms? ingrown nails? Are her nails trimmed? Mites? Or simple bruises? Is she sore from something? Was she attacked before by something above or fast and twisted something? These are all possibilities I think it might be. She needs to...
