Well the antibiotics has made her stop eating. She's had a good dose so if anything was bad it's clear now .I have her in at the moment so I'm going to make sure she eats and had fluids before taking her back out and I'm tempted to put her into the small coop so she has peace she can wander tomorrow with the girls if she's up to it.
Heal really soon
How about these ones? That’s what we use on our gates for the same reason.
I vote stick 2 eggs under her and let her have her way. Of course this is coming from someone who has been battling broodies since March. Some I've broke and others have gotten their way.Little Xzit is on day two, of her broody escapades. She won’t get off that nest, and wants to fight with me if I try to move her.
You also have to watch for line drop and the cords overheating if you have a large load on them. Buy the largest gauge one you can find at a big professional tool store. I’ve got a 50’ ten Guage cord if I need to run something like the mitre or table saw away from the generator.I have one of those radiant cozy coop heaters, I had my two silkies broody for about 5 weeks in Feb Mar and I kept it in front of their nest box to keep them warm as it was brutally cold this winter, and they had plucked out feathers to line the nest
If you can run an extension cable down your garden one of those would likely work wonders. Is it further than 100'? I don't think cables come in longer lengths...
Oh, NO!!! not me… I don’t DO those temperatures. If it hits the -C I’m miserable, anything colder than -5C and everything here stops. Everything. You’re thinking of m the other Canuck here, @Ponypoor who is crazy enough to live back east and work in the wastelands of Northern Alberta Etc! I did -20C one winter, that was all it took to convince me the interior of the warmest Province wasn’t for me, and I moved my self right back to the coast! Delicate tropical flower that I am…
He is sooooooo handsome!!!
