Anyone near Billings ? We just passed ordinance for 6 hens. I have 16 and have had chickens here for 5 years.

As for frost bite I find it helps if you use vaseline on combs.waddles and feet about every 2 weeks. Keeps the moisture from attaching to them when they drink.

Quote: It also gets very cold here in Billings. I have had my girls for 3 winters and I do not heat the coop. Lots of coops burn down from heat lamps if you read some of the articles here in BYC. I feed a small amount of corn in late afternoon which helps them make body heat digesting it...

No it is like 7 hrs away. My son goes to college there but works when not in school so hasn't been home in 7 months. There are a few different people up there that have them I guess. Thanks anyway.

Just a reminder to Montana people within a couple hours drive of Billings. I am looking for silkies if anyoine has some.

Seems like it is way to early to have chicks shipped to Montana due to rapid change in weather anyway.

IM looking for about 4 silkies if anyone has any to sell please let me know !

Quote: One thing that I do is supplement light so that the girls are getting 14 hrs of daylight each day. Otherwise they will stop laying. My girls were laying all through the winter last year. I hung a 40 watt bulb in a trouble light and attached a timer to it. I also use a 150 watt red...

Both lay but not like chickens that are breed as prolific layers. Silkies are the best broodies hands down. A silkiie will set on any other chickens eggs,hatch them out and mother them. IM getting the silkies mainly as pets and will use them to hatch some eggs now and then. As for introducing...

Grateful I ordered mine from mintana mills here in Billings. That way I don't have to place a large order. They may still be taking orders but I would call them right away. Otherwise you may want to call your local feed store and see if you can order from them. Alot of those people ordered to...
