Haha. What kind of chickens do you have?

I have RIR, New Hampshire Red and Barred.

The temperature is supposed to drop to 29 degrees here tonight, but it will be dry. Do I need to put a heat source in the coop for the one night? Anybody have any suggestions?

As long as there is not wind blowing directly on them and they stay dry, the low temps will not bother them at all. Chickens can handle pretty cold weather, feathers are great insulators!!.. ......stan

My reds have been laying eggs for some time now and I have one broody sitting on about 20 eggs that should start hatching anytime now. I'm curious to see how they do in our Central Florida winter.

Great, thanks. I can relax a little, have a fire in the fireplace and make S'Mores with the kids tonight

Wow u have a nice setup. We just put a light in there. About 40-60watts. We're trying to incubate about 10 right now, then were gonna sell them. We do not have any broody chickens yet. So far they just want to lay and leave them.

We put a light in their. With 40-60 watts. We are currently trying to incubate 10 eggs, we don't have any broody chickens yet. But hopefully we hatch some good ones. All of our chickens are gorgeous though. If you want to add a couple to your mix just let me know.

I am looking for hatching eggs for pick up near the Chiefland/Gainesville area. I have my first broody hen who is sitting on a couple of infertile eggs, so I want to do a switch out for her. Anyone here that can help me out?
