G’Day from down under Boonie Stomper :frow Welcome!

This morning is the coldest it has ever been here on January 1 in years... And my hens decided to eat snow instead of having my fresh dish of water to replace the ice. Is that crazy?

Meanwhile, in Aus, today's predicted maximum is 97F so in my opinion, no, not crazy at all .. I would quite happily eat snow :p

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)
 
Welcome to Backyard chickens. Have you tried posting on the predator threads for advice on protecting your flock? Do you know what predators are causing the most trouble in your area? Do you have a chicken friendly dog who would add a new dimension of protection to their lives?

Welcome to BYC!

Here is my best advice for navigating this forum:

If you have not already, put your location in your profile, not your address or anything but at least your state that will help you get better advice, and speaking of advice....

Almost everyone here is an absolute expert on almost everything imaginable, take me for example I have left advice about freezing temps and I live in Southern California. So take the best and leave the rest.

Once you do get some good advice, and you will, then follow said advice... Example being the guy who burned down his coop after being advised not to use a heat lamp in the coop and then talks about how to place the heat lamp going forward in the new coop....

Stay away from religion and politics, trust me on this, its just not worth it:oops:

Oh, and build BIG, chicken math is real:plbb

Welcome to the flock!
