    You could take it down any day now just keep a heat lamp on in the night. There is a article on here that is called something like (I am not quite sure what its name is.), "Why to Toss Out Your Indore Brooder.'' It is good article for this. Hope this helps.

    dog attack

    Snowstorms and freezing temps

    Snowstorms and freezing temps

    Going through the same storm! As for heat it wouldn't hurt but they should be fine through the storm. Water issue, I have the same problem. Still trying to find a solution. Need to do more research on salt. Hope this storm moves out QUICKLY!
