    Secrets to keeping chickens in extreme weather

    Yes, it's about 49sq feet. It's a converted wooden storage shed. I originally bought 10 chicks for this space, but some roos in the mix and some "personality conflicts" dwindled my flock. The girls prefer to roost on the support beams close to the roof, even though they have 2 other roosts...

    Secrets to keeping chickens in extreme weather

    Help a newbie out! We are in Colorado, currently it is 8 degrees outside with only an expected high of 18 today. I have 5 laying hens in a coop approx. 7ft square, unheated. Is there anything I should do for them?

    Roos . . . right?

    Sorry 'bout that, these chickens are approx. 16 weeks old. I'm now hoping even more of my chickens aren't roos. Would they look very similar to these if they were?

    Roos . . . right?

    Just thought before I try to find homes for these two , I'd double check with you more seasoned chicken peeps. They are wonderful and I'd keep them if I could, but am not allowed to in city limits.

    Newbie here. I'm in Loveland and I was under the impression the hens were allowed as long as you don't have too many and your neighbors don't raise a stink. This is based on what I read in the City of Loveland Municipal Code sections 6.28.010 and 6.28.020. Does anyone know what is enforced...
