We have serious weather here right now. It's only -30 C but with a wind chill it's -49 C!! My chickens are fine, I locked them in their coop (which is really small and insulated) and have a heat lamp on. DH was worried and checked them at 5am. Said they were toasty. But one of my kids let 1...

My poor Matilda the gold-necked d'uccle was filthy. It wamed up a bit today (-10 C) so I thought I'd give her a bath. She's almost dry, and I'll be waiting to put her back with the others tonight when the heat lamp comes on. That way she can acclimatize again, slowly. Anyways, here she...

My favorite chicken died this morning....I opened the coop and reached in to pet her. She was just lying on the floor of the coop. We had struggled with impacted crop, but that cleared a few days ago. Is it possible she had an infection from the impacted crop (she was impacted for over 2...

My two Mille Fleur banties are in Jeopardy! Not the show~ My DH says they are Aliens in mini-chick bodies, they look like chickens, they act like chickens, but are NOT real chickens! His evidence? They don't LAY! Now I tried patiently to explain to My Love, that they might not be ready, and...

We (DH, with me supervising, swinging a hammer occassionally and hurting people) finished the coop a couple of months ago, but just recently moved the poor thing to it's final resting place after dragging it to all corners of our yard first. I think I'm happy now, and when Mama ain't happy...
