So by this means that if i miss a day of picking up the eggs, and they freeze overnight, they will be okay? good thread

It is suppost to snow tonight ALOT in Chicago, very cold. I added a tarp to the run and a water heater to keep the water from freezing. did that two weeks ago ahead of time. I also just added a game cam to keep an eye on the chickens. I am planning to see how they react to the snow tonight and...

Wow, your already getting snow flurries? I live in Northern Illinois and last night it was 35 degrees out, pretty cold on em. I have a small coop for two chickens so all I'm doing is DLM and adding Christmas lights on their run with a timer for daylight. Also I will add heavy duty plastic on...
