CAUTION CAUTION...HEAT LAMPS. WE LOST AN ENTIRE FLOCK WHEN WE USED A HEAT LAMP THAT WAS COVERED IN A TEFLON LIKE COATING. THE LAMP NEVER MENTIONED THIS COATING. BUT WORDS LIKE - "SHATTERPROOF ". SHOULD BE AN ALERT. BE SURE TO EXAMINE EACH BULB YOU USE. NO COATING PLEASE.

I have one lovely Orpington Rooster about 2 years old. I just got two hens for him. They are around two years of age too. He really favors one hen. Sometime excluding the second hen. I wondered if two hens were enough or should I get another hen? The chickens are just pets
