Ya know, I have heard others say that, too. Not the case here though. My Silkies lived outside right along side my large fowl chickens. We had 6 weeks of torture this summer of over 100 degree days. Last winter was also horrible. My Silkies did fine. I even had broody Silkies hatch mid-winter. Crazy little birds.

Mine too. In fact it wasn't until recently that they went into the coop by themselves. For 6 weeks I was moving them to the coop at night. I guess it finally got too cold for them to want to me on the ground in the evening.

Ummmm, I have not even listened at the door to my incubator. I wasn't supposed to be hatching in my sportsman any more, but my homemade hatcher isn't completely done yet and so I am. Darn wooden door.

I wondered when someone would catch that.


Transporting chicks during the winter:
Dried Pinto Beans
Husband's sock.

1. Fill sock to heel with beans.
2. Put in microwave until hot, but not burning. You'll know the difference.
3. Stick beansock in transportation box with shavings.
4. Make sure sock will not roll or crush babies. Make sure babies can back away if necessary.
