Ava stared to crow...now Mr. Bubbles!

Heat lamps are so dangerous...I have a flat panel heater that kicks on at 32 degrees and shuts off at 45 degree. Very safe, love it! I got it from shopthecoop.com

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to everyone! Thank you for all of your support and wisdom though the year. It's so nice to have a face to match to the "Chickendads" please keep the entertainment coming....Gotta Love Barbara!!!

Double Yolker!!! Yipee!!!

I feel your pain, I am in the same situation. However, I chose to keep my roo (Mr. Bubbles) and my darling husband built him his own quaters in the coop and run. Sometimes you just never know!

Check out Jeffers.com. I went to get a heated waterer at my local Agway, they were asking $70...Jeffers.com $30. Can't beat that with a stick!

Of course, that is why we built another coop!

Our first coop was the "Chick Mahal" our current coop is the "Chick-inn"....

Please check out shopthecoop.com they sell flat panel heaters that work great and you don't have to keep checking the temp. I have one in my coop and love it!

Thanks, great story! We have all been there and never go to the coop without the cell phone, you just never know!

Keep in mind that fertilization is all about temperature. Once you put the egg in the frig it is no longer fertilized.

I know how hard it is...my one and only roo, "Mr. Bubbles" has his own condo next to the hens and my girls (Kids) are not allowed in there. He has always been friendly but I am not taking that chance...I love them all and just want to do the justice for everyone involved.

One of my hens acted that way when she was staring to go broody. I was in panic mode and my "Chicken Guru Friend" was on vaction and I was very worried that something was very wrong with her....little did I know at the time, she was warming up in the bullpen to be broody!

So glad it ended well. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your peeps!!

I say anger management cage!! A little time does wonders! Change that pecking order...
