It is getting warmer here. It is actually getting into the 'pluses' in a few days.

That's what we have with four hens and a rooster, and there is lot's of space.

-35 celsius today.

I used to get 4 eggs from 4 hens. RIR

Strange. I got one egg this morning from 4 RIRs.

I only get one egg a day. I don't know why.

Sounds pretty good. I am going to need a light soon. Just need to finish some wiring and that's it.

Yes, it was on the side, but I didn't see anyone pecking. I haven't noticed and more fresh blood, but I am keeping an eye.

Hahaha! Really? I never heard of animal suicide!

Hahaha! Too funny!

My rooster is a Rose Comb Light-Brown Leghorn. I had two, but one was killed a few months ago by an animal of sorts. The one is the pic isn't actually mine, it's the person I bought mine from. But they are the exact same, basically.

Thanks everyone. Also I noticed some blood and aggravation on all the combs of the chickens. They are whitish color and have black spots, kind of like when a cut is healing, it seals up and leaves a noticeable spot. Is this the first sign of frost bite?

Sounds like they have a pretty good life! My chickens haven't been outside today.

Ya, actually it's -27 with the wind chill right now, plus the wind is blowing from the west and the west is our back yard and our back field! The cattle haven't been out of the woods since it started getting cold this morning! So that must show something

I saw the front page yes. It was about -10 or so. I think it is colder this afternoon.

Wow thanks everyone! I got more info than I could have asked for!

There is only insulation in the roof.

Thanks everyone. The hens are outside in the run today and are doing fine, but this is probably the warmest it will be, around -10 or so.

How cold in Tennessee? Also, centrarchid, thanks for the info. I usually fill the feeder up so that it is overflowing, almost.

Yes, my chickens don't like the snow or rain much. In fact, my rooster is the biggest baby when it comes to bad weather!
