Were is this lady from? Is she local? I live in Sheridan, OR and would love to meet some local crazy chicken ladies :)

I think I will do that, and bring them into our attached garage when it's freezing. I have a large wire dog crate I can use for the few days/nights we reach freezing temps. How do you train them? That's great!

Here are my Silkie girls. They hatched all 100%....7 eggs!! They seem to be keeping the babies warm so far with all the cold and rain we've been having here in Oregon the last few days!

That makes me feel better. I'm new to chickens, specifically Silkies, and I was getting worried with the cooler temperatures outside at night. My coop isn't especially safe for a heat lamp.

Does everybody provide additional heat for your chickens during the winter. Near the Portland area we do not experience freezing temps too often. I've read it's best not to provide heat so your chicken acclimate to the weather and to prevent shocking their system. Any thoughts?

Thanks for sharing the FB page..........I'll have to check them out!
