Thanks for the reply! I'm 99% sure it is neither a Easter Egger or Welsummer because I ordered those types and Ideal said they would not send an extra chick that was the same as any I had ordered.
Wow, thanks! Ashes are a great idea. We will be burning soon in our fireplace (sooner than we thought too if the weather continues to be so abnormally chilly). I will try putting a tub out like you said until then. Thanks again for your very helpful ideas!
Hello Everyone ! We just joined BYC--we got our first hens about two weeks ago. We built them a cozy coop and they have about 120 sqft to run in (there are four of them). They seem like they are doing well enough, although I don't feel confident that I would know.
I'm worried about them...
