I am new to chickens got my first chicks (2 Buff Orpington, 2 Ameracauna 2 Silkies and 1 Easter Egger spring of 2016. I was quickly hooked and now I have added 5 more (2 Australorp, 2 Buff Brahma and 1 Golden Lace Wyandotte) and one very sassy duck. I found BackYardChickens.com when I was...
Even though I put Vasoline on my Buff Orpingtons combs they got frostbite. Is there anything I can do for them? They don't seem bothered by it but I feel horrible and we are going to get hit with another week of below zero weather.
Finally got my girls moved to their winter coop and run. I have to say just in time for the next blast of arctic air with temperatures dropping to below zero and highs in the low single digits.
