I love the idea of using what you have, but I'd be worried about the chickies roasting in there in the summer. It would need to have good ventilation windows, windows for sunlight, insulation between the two walls of plastic, etc.. I'm sure more people will chime in, but I dunno. It could work...
OK then. I have the one I got at the feed store with a red bulb. I just wanted to be sure before I frustrated myself looking for it. It's been one of those days today.
My bigger girls are about a month and a half. They are pretty much all feathered out. My oldest out there is 2 months. My babies are about 3 days old. They are ok now, my 10 year old is taking good care of them, but it is raining and yucky and cold, and for the rest of the weeks, the lowest at...
Thanks so much, Marty!! You have nO idea how much I appretiate your help. I can change the oil in my truck, but figuring out why my outlet didnt work? Sometimes I really shock myself. Thanks again!!
YAY! I discovered the outlet with the light on was in another bathroom. lol Which is why I didn't see it in the first place. As far as the outlet out on the deck, it doesn't have a reset button or a light. BUT, since the others work now, it stands to reason that perhaps it will work now? BUT...
Well, I do have a fireplace, but it is gas, and it doesn't work. Yes, the outlet in the bathroom has a test thingie on it. Which do I press first, or how do I do this? Thanks for the help!
Ok, so I moved the chicks inside into my son's room with the same regular lamp we were using. It works in his room, but not in my bathroom, where I originally had them. I've tripped the breakers off and back on, and the sockets in my room still aren't working, and neither is the one outside. I...
Unfortunatly, I do not have a heating pad OR any hand warmers or a potatoe. I keep trying the plugs, and they work fine for everything else. I think my older girls in the coop will be ok, but it's the two chickies I'm worried about.
We came home today to a really yucky rain storm and for some reason, the heat lamp in my coop isn't turning on.. it was ran to the coop from the outlet on my deck with a blue extension cord. AND my lamp I'm using for my little ones, they are only a few days old isn't working either!! I've...
So I just got back from the feed store and I fell in love. I only got two though. lol I got a Golden laced Wyandotte and what they called a "california grey". WHAT is a california grey? I can't find anything really about them online, and another thread here said that they were production...
