    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Quick question...I would read 1000+ pages to find the answer but how do I keep the mama heat pad from getting gross? They (the 3 week old chicks) pick at the saran wrap. I have to redo the cover every other day. I tried covering with hay and they just kick it all off. Do you use the towel to...

    It's nice to hear from those who get it! I have a Facebook chicken group I follow that's got folks stressed about winter and they have powder on the ground. Gimme a break!

    It's my very first winter keeping chickens and I can't wait for spring so that I can change some things to make it easier next winter. But THIS winter has to end first! Geez what a year to start. :fl

    Hello from Maine

    I do love a good book so I am not complaining. :) I hope that you have a mild winter too! I'm hoping it doesn't get too icy tomorrow because power loss is pretty typical when the ice is to heavy for the trees. Sending you good luck too.

    Hello from Maine

    Today we are having a nice little snow storm which is supposed to turn to ice tomorrow. Luckily I only had a half day so I was able to get out to the coop and put in some fresh shavings before there was too much snow. Thanks for asking! What about your neck of the woods? (And I sent my...
