Cold weather preparations for chickens and broody hen

[Orpingtons43]

If you have some oatmeal or cornmeal you could mix them with a little water, or bread, scrambled eggs and cooked rice would all work in an emergency for feed. It's been near and below zero here, too, but at least we've not had ice to deal with also! Good luck with your new little ones! Chicks are so sweet!

Okay I will use oatmeal then I just can't get to the feed store now thanks for the tip.

I advise staying away from bread. It is hard on their digestive system. Grower feed or maintenance feeds work in a pinch as do whole grains.

Oh okay thank you I did not know that.
