    Seramas in Winter

    Do any other Northerners have experience with seramas in the winter? Here in the Boston Area, the coldest we get is about 0ºF to -5ºF, but we have sustained temperatures in the teens. I have three birds that are basically the Caribbean version of seramas, and I'm worried about winter with them...

    Soft mostly empty crop green poo

    Hey everyone, The longer story: I have a large hen that has been trying to go broody for two- three weeks. She removed the feathers from her belly and will not leave the nesting box.

    Going to get too cold for chickens?

    Hey! I just found out that we’re supposed to get snow in 7 days with a low of 21. I have 25 meat birds, and I knew I was cutting it close to the cold weather When I ordered them, but I wasn’t expecting it so soon.

    How to help a bald chicken in freezing weather

    One of my hens (I have 7) has her feathers removed/pecked off on her back, head and where her wings meet her body. I haven't seen the rooster mating with her nor have I seen hens pecking her. I'm worried about her staying warm when the weather gets down to zero. That's as low as it goes once...

    Multiple feet of snow.

    I have a flock of chickens, finally adults. However, this is my first time with my flock in winter. We are expecting to have piles of snow. I feel my little flock would freeze without warning. What are your suggestions to keep your chickens all bundled up? They're mainly silkies, so I'm not too...

    Eglu Go coop for the tropics.. ventilation issues?

    Hi, I live in the tropics with year round temperatures above 30C and humidity above 90%. I have 3 barneys and 2 LF Orps who are about 5 weeks old now. I got an Eglu Go coop but after assembling it, felt that it would be awfully stuffy inside. So, I removed the outer green panels in the hope...

    Adjustable nesting boxes

    It's not the size that's adjustable. I make individual sizes for my Dixie Rainbow, Barred Rock and Serama. It's the ventilation, temperature and privacy that is adjustable. Once a bird gets locked into setting on her eggs, I can remove the covering and let her get some air in the heat of the day...

    I live in SW Louisiana and its already reaching into the high 80s/low 90s during the day and around 65-70 at night so I have had them outside in the coop given the warm temps and they have done fine so far.

    I have a bantam chicken that we found injured on the side of the road I rehabbed her back to health but her leg still isn't strong she doesn't use it very much and my other chickens pick on her to the point that her head was bleeding and cut so I separated her and have her in a coop of her own...
