Eggs in cold weather

[neo71665]

Frozen but not busted are fine for baking or scrambled but I always try to move them to the front of the line and get rid of them.

Busted or I just dont want to deal with them I turn into animal food. My dog, coons, and my chickens all like cooked eggs.

also I put seed starting mats in the nest boxes, that keeps things a little bit warmer both for chicken butts and for keeping eggs from freezing haha

If I ever get power out to the run, I was considering that, but when it’s really cold, does that create the problem of the birds trying to sleep in the warm nests? Or do you just unplug the seed mats at night, etc.?

I unplug them at night, I plug the seed mats into a jackery 300 battery and since the seed mats are only 20 watts each the jackery 300 battery runs them all day
