    Heater or heat panel -10

    Neither. There are some good points, but a couple of statements that I don't necessarily agree with. So I just posted another way of looking at it, but in my case, backing up what I said. Exactly!! None taken. 😊

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Our heated 2-gallon green bucket for the three ducks, 3/4 full, froze the top half. Hubby thinks that their mud or crud on the bottom is what did it. We dump and give fresh every other day, but I guess in sub-zero weather, we'll have to dump and change it daily.

    Heater or heat panel -10

    This isn't FB, so here, we can state our opinions or experiences on subjects like this, unless we wish to provide proof to back up what we're asserting. For our silkies, even frizzled and molting (skin exposed), we've kept our coops at 40°F for a decade—using an oil-filled radiant heater in the...

    Benninger Hatchery's silkies

    Cuckoo silkie roosters for sure have red combs, at least mine do. Both of these are from Bobbi Porto, exhibition breeder out of Florida, indigoegg.us. And this one's from a different breeder.

    Heater or heat panel -10

    This nipple waterer was right next to a Cozy Coop heater in our growout shed last night, and it froze. The eight silkies in there, which were around 4 months old, were all up next to it so maybe they blocked any heat getting away from it. Still, for this to freeze with 8 chickens and a heater...

    Coop Thermometer Hygrometer Recommendations

    You've probably got Bluetooth, though. Here's what we use as we have three places we wanted to monitor. We bought these five years ago. The display goes in the house. If you really just want analog, as you mentioned, then something like this should work.

    Is this vent prolapse or something else?

    I don't think so. I only know a prolapse to be if it's protruding out of their vent. Let's see if @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock can take a look. I'd definitely get that calcium I mentioned above going for her though.

    Integrating 1 chick into existing flock

    I did this twice, just so the momma has a baby, she was happy and seemed to not notice the others were gone. She'll continue to protect that one. It'll then grow up around the others and when the time comes for her to wean it, they'll all be used to each other and it should work out.

    lockdown, egg kicked

    Good advice from @kattabelly as I'd have given similar. It is sometimes a bit discerning to watch them roll other pipped eggs around, but I try to just walk away and get myself a bowl of ice cream or something. :) They always manage somehow.

    Hello I’m a newbie nice to be here and need some help.

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I would be afraid running that light at night would stop them or slow them down from laying, and like @DobieLover said, it's not putting out much heat at all. As long as they are draft-free and dry, those temps you have aren't so bad for most breeds. We're...
