Our weather is horribly cold. Got to 12F with windchills about -5F last night. Even with heat tape/insulation in the pipes, and heat in every area possible we still don’t have water in the trailer this morning. It is frozen somewhere.
The chicks seemed ok on camera last night, just snuggled a little closer than usual in the roost. I didn’t get a chance to check them this morning because we had to leave at 4 am (hubby is on call and the weather had a store with all the refrigeration down). Hopefully their heated waterer is working. On camera I see three in the nest boxes and the rest walking around. I added some PDZ and almost a full bag of shavings yesterday to try to make sure things were dry.
