    One hen, a 4'x2'x'2 coop and 20 degree weather... Will she be alright?

    Right now I am concerned for Holiday, the chicken that wandered into our yard last year. This is the first time we have had "cold" weather here in Houston which will be staying below freezing for more than 24 hours and I am concerned for her. Her coop is 2' wide, 2' deep and 4' high with her...

    New to raising chickens.... Need help/advice!

    A few days ago this bird showed up in our yard... My wife and I felt sorry for it and gave it a bowl of water and some bread crumbs (which I have since learned is not the best thing for chickens) and it now seems to have adopted our back yard as it's new home. Every morning it is out...
