Here is the cage we made years ago for my heat lamp, just hardware cloth. This is the cage the bulb fell safely onto. It is in a closed off portion of my run. I have flat panel heaters in the hen house when needed. I turn one on at about 0-10 degrees, and the other one gets turned on around 20...

I'm ready for the snow to be done now...

Funny, not a good time to go broody! How many chickens do you have? Is your heat lamp red? if not, you may want to change it to red, or they may start picking on each other. If you don't have a hardware cloth cage over it, i'd recommend that too. I had a bulb come unglued and fell right out...

I have a couple of flocks of pheasants that come to my bird feeders this year. There is so much snow they have nothing to eat. I have added cracked grains, dried boom worms, and oats to the bird food mix out there to help them out. 6 roosters were coming for a couple of weeks. Today there was a...

Everyone digging out?

Thank you, I'll check it out! :)
