    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    I talk about moving to Texas all the time. ha ha! I'd love for my banana trees to get to stay up all year!! I was born in the Midwest, but I don't think I'm meant to stay here! I count the months/days until spring before winter official even begins each year! (My banana trees are cut down to 6"...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    Genius idea!! One of my daughter's Polish pullets had a few icicle feathers! Everyone is fine, but this would have kept her head feathers dry/not heavy and frozen!

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    No monthly fee. Just paid the $15 sale price (now $30) and bought a device to save videos on it. Without the extra module, I can still view the "live videos" any time I want to, which is all I really need. Both mini blink cameras are for indoor use, they say, but are doing fine inside our coops...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    @CoopBoots , I’m cracking up that you marked my “box thingy” comment as informative. 😂 Here’s actual information on that item: I've tried three times making a link to it, but it won't open. Aghh. I'll try a screenshot...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    It is an indoor blink mini. Hubby paid $18 Black Friday 2020 and it’s been inside the main coop wrapped in plastic food wrap to keep dust off and working great all this time. A coop isn’t indoor, but apparently negative temps and 90 degree temps don’t bother it. We haven’t had the subscription...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    We cancel the subscriptions after the free 30 days. We bought the little box thingy that allows you to record locally for free until it's full, then you delete or upload then delete to make more space on the module thingy (not in the cloud--no subscription). Camera was half off on black friday...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    Yes! They were on sale for $15, so I grabbed another one! Here’s my pic from spying on them at around midnight! (Excuse the feather mess, some are still molting! Brrrr!)

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    That’s what I use in my small coop. I had to run another extension cord as it is usually in the run and that cord didn’t reach the coop either. Hopefully the silkies & Polish don’t stick their crests in it! I’ll bring them inside for a blow dry if so and swap the bowl out for a bunny waterer...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    I’m leaving my flocks locked in their coops with heated waterers and plenty of food until Sunday morning. Might not be necessary but we had losses to heat stroke this year and our hearts can’t handle deaths or frostbite injuries due to cold if we can prevent it. See my above post for a heated...

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    This is the brand we use & have had for seven winters now. Still works great.

    Feeding and water in extreme cold

    I would say it’s worse to not have water. I moved our heated (dog) bowl inside the coop and will keep the coop doors shut until Sunday morning. I don’t want any frostbites on combs or toes. We keep feed inside the coop at all times instead of the run, so I didn’t need to change that. Could you...
