So a lot of you let your chickens out during the winter? I was planning on locking them up. I guess I could get some good plastic and seal up the run...
Anyhow, there are vents along the eaves, and I have plans to put a vent in the top where there used to be one, when I lock the girls up at...
I am not worried about predators, our dogs quickly take care of those.
I like a heated waterer idea. As my main concern is about keeping things warm in there.
At this point we have not decided if we are going to put lights on timers or not, with that being said we do have very limited light up...
This is my first year with chickens and living up north in Saskatchewan I know the winters can get mighty cold. We have a coop that is insulated and it seems to seal up well. Any advice or helpful hints on keeping things working properly through these cold months?

Our Reds have started laying a couple weeks ago. Out of 11 hens we are now getting 5 or 6 eggs a day! Over the last couple days we have got a few double yolks!
Sorry, I'm excited and just have to share.

These are some of the new "Barn cats" we just got. As you can see I am a purebred sucker, as they are in my living room. We have a total of 9 cats (3 house cats) 6 "barn" and 2 dogs.
Our dog "Donkey" and cat "Finnick" along with one of our Black Star chickens "Betty"

Age:19 weeks
Breed: easter egger?

Other: very skittish, won't let us near her. Which is real sad because we love petting our girls.

We got this little girl with the RIR we purchased. It looks like an Americaunas (sp.) But I don't know all that much about chickens and so many have beards. She should be about 18 weeks old.

Hello. This spring we decided to get into some chickens as we have been promising the kids we would.
It started out rough but we got things handled now. First we found 5 chicks and a dozen 1 year Olds. One of our dogs decided after some time to kill them. He took 3 babies and 9 layers in a day...
