    Trying to Rebuild my coop

    I like the open front of your run, gives them lots of fresh air. A coop could be built under half of the roof, something you could lock up at night to keep them safe and a place for them to lay eggs. The more I research, the more I like the Wood's Coop, designed by Dr. Woods. It seems to give...

    Arctic blast coming to my area

    I would try to return it, it should have lasted 3 months at the very minimum. Stores like happy customers!

    Arctic blast coming to my area

    I did use an incandescent light bulb in a cinder block to keep their water from freezing, so far it is working, did not leave it on over night. My chickens are doing good also, no signs of frost bite, the coop did not have any frost on the windows, they all came out this morning and seemed to...

    Arctic blast coming to my area

    My chickens are also doing good without any heat, except for the heated soapstone wrapped in a towel, I put it under their straw in the run where they eat. I also use some baby oil, coconut oil on my skin before I go out, makes a huge difference on my cheeks.

    Arctic blast coming to my area

    I went out to the coop, took out some warm mash, my heated soap stone wrapped in a towel, inside the run it was 10 degrees, outside was -6, everyone is doing fine so far.

    Arctic blast coming to my area

    I am also trying to sort through all the information and advice here on BYC. My coop does have insulation, the foil kind, roof is insulated, very well vented above the roosts. I did cover two sides on the outside with foil insulation just for extra and it makes me feel good. I stuffed the coop...

    Super cold weather!

    I just started the Nutri-Drench in their water, I take out a small bowl and let them drink all they can, then bring it in to keep warm. They do have their big water bowl as a back up, but it has been freezing quickly. We are here in Central Ohio and temps are very cold. I wanted to give the...

    Chicken suddenly having trouble walking

    You all have so many good suggestions! Thank you so much! I just took out some warm scrambled eggs to my chickens and a small amount of warm water with nutria-drench in a bowl, just enough for me to make sure they all drank what they wanted then brought the bowl back in the house. I am so...
