Planning on a new coop for my chickens. I live in North Dakota where is can get as low at -30 with wind chills around -60 for a few weeks throughout winter. We also get 4-6 feet of snow per year. Winds up to 60 mph. So a well insulated coop is a must.
I have 4 brahma hens and 1 brahma rooster...
My beautiful rooster is almost 7 months old. He always had a medium pink pea comb and I swear he changed overnight. His pea comb is much larger, plump and red. I want to make sure this is normal? First time with a brahma rooster. I didn't expect it to puff up more and turn red.
Around the time...
I've been helping a friend with her large flock this winter in the northern Midwest. We had a nasty week long storm and 2 dozen chickens died. Many have frostbite and are losing toes, feet and legs. Mind you, they do not have a proper coop or quality care, unfortunately.
I took in and bonded...
