    any ideas for keeping my chickens from freezing this winter?

    Yeah it snows here...I'm gonna have to do something about it. Last year it got way down in the negatives (but I didn't have any chickens then.) And I imagine it'll be worse this year.

    any ideas for keeping my chickens from freezing this winter?

    It looks like we are headed for a chicken-killer winter, and I don't have faith out hen house will keep everyone warm enough. Its just an open face goat shed with 2 chain link dog kennels attached out front with chicken wire wrapping it. Id like to beef it up so everyone can snuggle together and...

    One Breed/Color Only Flock Owners!!!!

    Right now we have 45 chickens, 8 or 9 differant breeds, and its an amazing looking flock. But once my black tailed japs are old enough to breed they are going to get to be their own flock seperate from the others. I think that will be really pretty.

    Need help finding breed of dog that is right for my family UPDATE #43

    My husband got me a dachshund puppy for my birthday and he is great with the chickens. He's a mini dach but maybe a full size would be of more use to you since you're not really looking for a small dog. When we got him he ran at the chickens a few times but never offered to grab at them or chase...

    canned candied apples?

    Does anyone know how to make canned candied apples? Seems like I had them when I was little...but I don't remember for sure what exactly it was, but I think that's what they were called.

    Naming inanimate objects?

    My favorite kitchen knife is named Louis. Then again...just about anything I come across I name louis. I had a bike named Hecktor. I think I originally got it from my mom, she called all her vans Bessy. And my sisters name everything Steve, or Roulf.

    Thanks a lot Rancher. That all makes since (and no on the age, the guy we got them from wasn't particularly helpful.)

    light pink combs

    No they are not laying yet, not since we've had them anyway. We've had them for a little over 2 weeks. The man we bought them from said they were from his spring bunch (also we've looked them up and ours don't seem to be as fully developed as the adults we saw.) I don't 'think' they are sick...

    pretty sick chicken, possible snake bite??

    It could be a coon reached through and grabbed her...but all the other evidence doesn't add up. Ill look at her better tomorrow when I can actually see. The seizure type thing was the part that kinda got me. Really odd.

    pretty sick chicken, possible snake bite??

    My husband and I are pretty new at the whole raising chickens thing so we don't know a lot of stuff about how they act yet. We just got home and our silver laced polish was layin on the ground having a kind of fit? Wiggling its head back and forth. At first I thought maybe its neck was broke but...

It felt like wet toilet paper. The yolks were intact and looked...
