I am worried about winter in the Chicago suburbs. I have 3 bantams, (silkie and cochins) and a henhouse that is 4 1/2 ' x 2 1/2'. Can they be warm enough? Should I insulate and put a light in there? Ideas on insulation? Of course, they could live in the basement if necessary..........
Is it bad or just really unappealing to have blood in the eggs? We have two female silkies, who basically live in the pen in the dining room. Are we doing or not doing something?
