I bought a 50lb bag of layer crumbles from them, but it was $ 31.00. I thought that was a little high.

[DEBUS CHICKS]

I think we had some frostbite on our chickens. We had a heat lamp in the coop but we still have birds with missing toenails and toe tips. They seem to be doing OK, but it is not a pretty site. Is this common? Is there anything else I could of done? We had about two inches of pine shavings on bottom of coop and a heat lamp, but they could go outside if they wanted. Most of the time they did not. As you know we had a couple of weeks of extreme cold...

Wider roosts usually solve frostbitten toes if the coop bedding is dry and straw covers the snow.

A heat lamp sometimes works against you since it can raise humidity - the primary cause of frostbite.

Hello
I have a dirt floor.in my 18x30 chicken house with 3windows. In November I put about 1 1/2ft of hay down. then I just keep adding to it all winter I start out puting my water up on cement blocks and I hang the feeder.Dec I add a metal heater drum. Raising the water higher I keep one heater lamp going in there.I don't clean it out until spring .as long as you have good ventilation.watch out for moisture. I keep my water as high as my chickens back. I keep red bricks on top of the cement bricks as winter goes on next winter I am changing to a hanging waterer.. The chicken house doesn't stink . After the first light freeze I spray, (lighty the purches with cooking spray oil. I touch it up threw out the winter. Out of 13 hens. I still get 8 eggs a day
Ps if you rake leaves bag them store them any where. add them to the chicken house floor the biddies love them

Quote: I've never heard of spraying the roosts with cooking spray. Does it make the poop slide off or just easier for it to be scraped off?

We get all of our feed at Tractor Supply. We pay $13 for 50# bags of both crumbles and pellets ( I mix them).
