    Help! Winter is coming

    Those breeds are cold-hardy. You can also use Sweet PDZ to absorb ammonia in the coop, if needed.

    Help! Winter is coming

    Just be sure the tops of the run have some ventilation, as well as the coop. I have a small prefab for chicks, and I found some round vents with louvers on them. That keeps the wind from blowing on the chickens, since I can direct it. Keeps the rain out, too! I wrap my run with clear tarps held...

    How cold does it get? Do you have available electricity in the coop? Are winds strong during winter?

    Solar

    I got rid of my inverter in favor of 12v heaters. The inverter drew too much power. Temperature switches are also a must.

    Water dripping off roof & into one portion of run - will this be a problem?

    Wet bedding will get moldy. Wet support beams will rot. It has to be fixed. Do you have pictures, so we can see what the options might be?

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    It's getting better. I teach high school in the Bronx, and the boys here like to cook. They see it as something they'll need in life. The bigger problem is "safety." The kids can't even do labs in science because of using chemicals or fire or glass. No way we could have ovens or knives.

    Coop Heater Advice

    I agree with Dobie. I used to use a heater plate, but inevitably found the girls (including one Orpington) on the far side of the roost. And often one of the Easter Eggers snuggling under the Orpington! As long as the coop is draft-free, and the girls have a sheltered (wind-free) place in the...

    Question of the Day - Wednesday, October 8th, 2025

    I do it to everything. I especially feel bad for objects that are treated badly. That's one reason I take care of my stuff. But also a reason I feel guilty for throwing things away.

    Question of the Day - Friday, October 10th, 2025

    My mother told me that when I was little, that a kid on the playground asked if I was American because of my accent. I still have an odd mix of Pennsylvania and Brooklyn.

    Run bedding smells

    I don't use any bedding in the run, but it is covered with a clear tarp year-round. When I only had it half covered, it smelled more. The moisture makes it smell, I think.
