Things have changed here at the house.. Need to give my 2 chickens away... will start again next spring. I have 1 buff orp. age 8 months and a white orp. age 2 1/2 yrs. I'm in broomfield co. so if your interested let me know.
Thanx
Well.... I must say after all the stuff I've read , we are going with no heat source. Emergency only if necessary.
Thank you very much
PS...fans used to move air made too much noise anyway.
How cold can a single hen, in a coop built for 4 birds,extra straw in there to take up space, survive with no heat source. The coop does close up but door is not tight. just a temporary wood flap.
We had 2 chickens raised together, 7months old. One turned out to be a rooster and had to go. Is the hen going to be lonely? Can we wait till she full grown to bring in new chickens, or do we need to act know. ( not sure what kind..gift..brown egg layer) any input would be helpful.
