Hi all.... well our first group of girlz are doing well. They are now 7 weeks old and have been out in the coop for Bout a month. They have been allowed in their pen for about 2 weeks now and are excited to go out in the AM and in in the PM (7:30 seems to be their time and DON'T ASK THEM TO COME IN AT 7:15 CAUSE THEY ARE NOT READY!!!, LOL!!). And actually they have been up and roosting for about a week now, they are growing SO quickly!!
Anyway, we are in New England and it appears fall has come early and therefore most likely winter around the corner. With that being said, how do our chicken friends keep their feathered friends warm in the winter? I have been looking into the panel heaters or ceramic bulbs, does anyone use either of these methods? How about water heaters/warmers? At what temp should I have to worry about the girls??
