    Think it's too cold for your chickens? Think again...

    LOL Mrs. AK.. At least I can't fit to walk in my run or coup so don't have to worry about slipping of frozen poop. It rains here, lots, with some snow during the winter and my run is mostly mud. Can't grow grass in my yard to save my life due to too much shade and rain. I'll put a full...

    Think it's too cold for your chickens? Think again...

    Question about covered run to keep the snow out. What do you use and is it clear so the sun can come through? My only worry is that if I cover their run they would never get any sunlight. Also at this time I don't have any windows in the coup so they don't get much if any light in there. During...

    Could be worse, you could have two prima dona bantams like I do My sister calls them Patagonian princess ground parrots. Both would prefer to be in the house on the dog bed

    Think it's too cold for your chickens? Think again...

    It's was a weird day and night last night here in Tacoma WA. Snowed most of yesterday and the wind howled most of the night. My girls seem ok but the water was frozen. I've about decided that I'm brining them into the house tonight. They are both bantams with feathered feet and this is unusual...

    Thank you Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain. One played all day out in the snow with no sense to go inside while her sister stayed inside in the nesting box most of the day. Though I think she thought she needed to keep my eggs warm as I was late getting breakfast started and going out to get the eggs. It's...

    Thanks for the posts. I was worried all night that my girls would get too cold. I only have two cochin bantams, ones a frizzle. I have a bench like coup that my sister was nice to make for them. I've added lots of wood shavings and more hey last night when I saw it was going to snow. The temp is...

    How many eggs are in your fridge?

    4 away from my very first dozen . So 8 but they are bantam and it will take about 6 just for scrambled eggs!

    Someone forgot to tell my chicken that she's supposed to sing....

    That's funny that the hubby went on about the egg as well. Guess he was feeling proud of his mate lol. Wow, she came a long way . Yes, he's a Congo African Grey. I got CJ when he was pin & skin he was still being hand fed. The breeder showed me how to feed him with a syringe (no needle) into...

    Someone forgot to tell my chicken that she's supposed to sing....

    LOL Tuesday Chicks, a tattle tale hen . That's what Poppy does runs around like Wilamena and grumps at everything in her way until she's in her crate and it's arranged the way she wants it. The first time she started this I thought something was after her, she about knocked herself out trying...

    Someone forgot to tell my chicken that she's supposed to sing....

    AFTER laying the egg, not before She gets very noisy and want to come back in to her crate (no coop yet) and then gets deathly quite and lays her egg. Not even a peep during or after the egg is laid. The first time she laid one I hadn't a clue that she had until I went by the crate and saw it...

    Wooohooo! My first chicken egg :)

    One of my bantams (Poppy) laid her first egg yesterday! I wasn't sure what was going on and apparently neither was she I heard a fearsome ruckus and looked out the door to see my girls trying to run for my back door. At first I thought maybe Raccoons were near or an eagle, so I open the door...

    Welcome to the group Excitedfor. Sorry to hear about your girls troubles but very glad she's going to be ok! I'm amazed at how much I actually enjoy having my two chics running around the house. Every time my mom is over and asks when they are going outside I get teary eyed at the thought...
