No frostbite on my flock. They were fine this am when I brought them water and food though I startled them with the flashlight. They certainly were thirsty after I replaced their frozen water after work.

My buff orpington rooster has frostbite on the backside of his comb and on his wattles but the rest of the flock is sitting pretty

Karen, I was wondering about mine eating rock salt as well unless I could somehow enclose it. The cold is supposed to be back this weekend. I heard -2 on Sunday last night. WTG on 4 eggs! I had one and wondering if the EE's will lay today. Crazy roo, yes I still have him, was out there crowing @ 3am!!

School was cancelled today due to the extreme windchill temperatures. -16 to -20 F.
Hard to believe that it is suppose to be in the 50's this weekend!
I just been getting anywhere from 1 to 4 eggs from a total of 25 hens. I hope they pick up the pace when the days get longer.

I know how you feel! I have 10 in my kitchen. Still have a bit to do on their cage in the coop. One is already trying to crow. I don't think it's going to be an easy transition.

mine are just about 5 weeks old so it will be awhile. I have a place to put them when they are grown. I just wasnt prepared for chicks in winter. I was given them by a woman who couldnt keep them anymore and it all happened really fast. I got lucky, I figured they would be easter eggers or some kind of mix. Got 1 male and 1 female salmon faverolle (which are pretty much my favorite chickens ever), a la fleche(which I have never even heard of), and a welsummer pullet(my other favorite!)

Nice gift of unexpected chickens!!

My roo may finally be going to his new home this weekend if all works out well, no guarantees yet. . The man who is taking lives near Urich. I will miss him but know he will be going to a good new home. I'm hoping Steven likes him, he has only seen photos.

I live in west central mo.
I raise Turkey's, quail, and chickens as a hobby.

The cold weather we've had took out my breeder cream crusted legbar roo. Is there anyone that has any spare legbar roos they would be willing to sell. I have 8 hens that I would like to breed pure if I can.
