I don't know if y'all remember when we got our little flock of six...this was Anne Boleyn, an Ameraucana, born March 7, so she is now 7 weeks old, and some of you said you thought by her markings she might be a roo...well yesterday morning, when cleaning the dog crate they are now all in ..downstairs kitchen...she did a couple of half crows...sort of a cock a doo. So we are thinking she is not truly Anne but rather Henry in disguise, tho we are waiting to see if further signs indicate it. She definitely is agressive and more restless than the others. We have finally gotten a local builder to do our coop and we should have it in a couple of weeks now. the chicks are eating a ton and we know they would love to be outside. They are all between 7 and 5 weeks now. So we may be looking for a home for Henry and perhaps swapping Henry for another Ameraucana pullet about the same age. So where are the local chicken swaps?
I have a small aquarium heater that I put into mine. I have a three gallon bucket with water nipples beneath it and I cycle the heater on and off using a timer throughout most of the winter. Works great!
I'm dying to know but what is this 'thing' of which you speak?
