Thank you!

I'm in the process of getting a divorce and I also have 4 Brown hens. They mean the world to me but I can't take them with me. They are 2 years old and still laying eggs regularly. I live in the Milwaukeee, WI area. Please let me know if you know of any sanctuaries or families that would like...

i have a hen that has been lethargic only since yesterday. There’s really No other sign of sickness. Combs look healthy. Eyes and nose look clear. Her breathing is just fine. Her poop was watery and a little yellow. Does anyone have any ideas?

It is so nerve wrecking! My girls seem to be happy though. I'm still getting one egg out of each per day. I'm glad I'm not the only one going through this :) Thanks for posting!

It really is hard. I do think things will be better next year. Just trying to keep my girls happy. THanks for your advice!

Thank you! I appreciate your advice

I live in SE Wisconsin. I use Fahrenheit as a temperature gauge. I have a heating matt int he coop. It's a great coop. Made of cedar with excellent ventilation. I have four brown hens. This is my first winter with them. I just got nervous seeing the single digits. They've done so well with the...

We are going to be in single digit temps at night. Would anyone advise using a heater?

This is my first winter with 4 large brown chickens. It got down to 14 degrees last night. I'm not into heating. The girls did great! I was pleasantly surprised. I do have tarps up to shield them from the wind. My coop has some drafts. I did put Vaseline on their combs just in case of frost bite.

None at all! I did put Vaseline on their combs though

My girls did it! They survived 14 degrees with no heat! They woke up happy and ready for the day :) Thank again to all!

Thanks so much! I'm gearing up for 20mph winds tomorrow and a low of 19 degrees. I have tarps up to shield the wind. I appreciate all your advice!

I was going to get a warmer for their water. I haven't had to worry about it yet. THanks for your advice. Their coop is pretty well designed for ventilation. It was 26 degrees this morning and they were all ready to play outside. That has to be good right?

I live in Wisconsin. The weather is starting to hit 20 degree nights. So far my 4 girls are doing great! They are still laying one egg a day. They don't seem cold. Should I worry about it hitting the 20's or teens at night?

Thanks so much for your advice!

Thanks so much for your advice!

Is there a certain kind of paint to use. Just worrried about it being too toxic for chickens

Thank you so much! I will do that as I start to put it together

I bought it from ChickenCoopNW.

I have 4 chickens. I live in the mid west. It will start getting cold in November. I bought this coop because it had a larger run. The run is approx 8 feet long. My girls have grown out of their current coop. I also need more ventilation.
