Bump!! Coldest air here in Alabama in 6 years! We did not have chickens then.Added some extra plastic around some banty pens and everyone has a buddy to sleep with. Not to worried about my Australorps they are in a good coop and there are 5 to keep each each other warm. We can not get electricity to all of them so I hope they can last these few frigid days.Three crazy guineas sleep in a tree I can not get them out hoping they will be okay. Any other suggestions besides taking them warm water?

thanks for replys

Cold snap of -25F (-32C) here for the next few days. So cold the schools shut down. My birds are fine, so all of yours should be as well, you guys don't know what cold is:>) LOL!

I am not worried about the geese-I will worry about the chickens over the next couple of days, which will hit zero and below.. All are tucked into the barn with lots of straw, but it's an ancient barn. I've got plastic stapled over the barn doors.

I just filled my 2, 20# propane tanks this afternoon. The guy laughed at me and then asked me if I was gonna heat for my goaties too!! I have those little screw on heaters for propane tanks. Pain to have to light them but with my little seramas I thought I better do something for the next few nights.
