I am posting this hoping this gets out to the chicken world and helps a lot of people.

When we first started with chickens(black sex-links, red sex-links, barred rocks) we got 1yr old "used" chickens off craigs, it was a sweet-n-sour experience. The chickens laid all winter and gave us a ton of eggs without artificial light. The bad was they came with leg mites and we never could...
My whole coop-run if full of snow. I snow shoveled some walking areas for them but its not enough. They have no ground to scratch and peck (frozen) and they hate walking in deep snow. I cleared some walking areas that are maybe 2' x 20' (2). Thats the best I can do. There is no free range area...

3.) The night temps are single digit 9f.
4.) No experimenting with a bird I raised and people are waiting to...

Its sad that no one is chiming in here. There are tons of people that know what to do (im not one of them) and they are not responding to your post.
They are not responding to mine either on my coop issue.
Make sure you mix in chopped up hard boiled egg to the yogurt mix. It helped one of my...
Was she interested in the egg/yogurt mixture? You could also mis in a tiny bit of electrolyte powder.
