Cyprus' Chat Thread

My day's been good.
You?

Good! I was also wondering what I should start to do when it is wintertime and it is cold outside. We do have something to keep the water from freezing, but if anyone has anymore advice about keeping chickens warm in the winter I would really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

Are you feeling better?

I'm feeling a little better.

In Wisconsin, we used heat lamps and heated water bases.

We do have heat water bases and a light. The biggest thing is how to get the electricity hooked up to the coop.

I don't use either.

I don't use either.

If I didn't heat the water, it would freeze.

I either carry out hot water daily or get water out of the heated stock tank. I have muscovy ducks in my shed. They make it impossible to keep clean water out for long.

I have never provided any extra heat for my birds. I've have multiple breeds including frizzles, d'uccle, and have had silkies in the past. I know heating chickens is a hot topic, so I'm not debating anything. Just sharing for me it isn't necessary, and I don't think it's worth the risk of fires.

This isn't to you, OHLD


But Lord have mercy on the soul who wears two masks.

You know what they say:

Don't listen to those liars and their lies.


I'll be so much careful who I choose to trust from now on.

I'm just so mad, I can't even right now.

I feel like I've been stabbed in the back. Pure betrayal.
