one time i took our chickens for a 45 minute ride in the tack room of the horse trailer, it was the funniest thing when i opened the door they were all panting and stumbling around.
looks liek my chickens are doing good, looked int he coop and had 12 eggs! threw them out cause most were frozen or cracked, thats what i get for not checking the nesting box for a week! had 6 in the box and 6 in a corner of the coop....
well i took out the 1500w bucket water heater and put a large 1.4gal heated dog dish in that only uses 60w we will see how that goes. chickens been surving down to -7f so far.. yea! 5 left.
im not sure if mine sleep in the coop or not. i gave them sliced up hotdogs and had to pull a hotdog round outa a chickens beak it was stuck! so i would suggest cutting things in to smaller then quarter inch size.
it was -5 last night f and i seen them under the coop during the light. will see...
mine stopped laying, i dont know if its the new chicken introduction or just the cold itself, i provide them with no heat or lights. its light from 8 something am to 4 or 5 pm
looks like a nother one of the new ones didnt make it thru the weekend! (they are older)
