    Silkies...vaulted or non-vaulted?

    Hi, I'm sure you guys get this question all the time and I've read several of the threads already. I believe my silkies to be non-vaulted but was hoping to get validation from you guys. They have nice size top knots now that they are about 2 months old, but as chicks they looked like any other...

    Infrared heat lamp?

    You're so right. I have them in a very large tote, the bulb is on one end and the other end is cool. It helps that they're in a cool part of the house. They look great! They're not huddled together but not panting with wings out. They just kinda lay where ever they wanna. I love my chickies!!!

    Infrared heat lamp?

    Thanks for all the responses. The bulb I bought was 250 watt, but it doesn't seem very warm at all. I have it hanging about 2 foot above the chicks and I put my hand down there and it just doesn't seem warm enough at all! A 60 watt trouble light puts out more heat! So I didn't know if it had to...

    Ended Tell Us Your Funniest Chicken Story to Win Six Bags of Feed from Nutrena!

    One day while feeding my flock, my roo Lacy (yes, Lacy IS a boy) kept crowing and crowing and crowing. Everytime I turned around he'd cock-a-doodle-doooooo. Normally I don't mind but he just kept on and on...cock-a-doodle-dooooooo And he'd really drag out the doooooooo. I was starting to get a...

    How to keep ducks watered in the winter?

    I've got 3 ducks in with my flock of chickens. The ducks make a MESS of the water. How do I not only keep my water thawed in the winter, but keep it IN the waterer?

    Winter water?

    My problem is the ducks! I don't know how to have a waterer in the coop without the ducks making a complete mess!!! I've got 23 chickens and 3 ducks. Any other chicken/water fowl people have ideas?

    Sponsored Post It's HOT - Keep your birds feeling their best!

    I know they pant to cool off. I guess what my problem is this, we feel heat index because we sweat. When the heat index is high there's a lot of moisture in the air making it harder for our sweat to evaporate, making it harder for us to cool down. If chickens don't sweat, they shouldn't be...
