Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Check the coop really good for mites. My EE was roosting in the run at night, and I couldn't figure out why. She was trying to get away from the mites. That was the first time I dealt with them.

ahh, good call. I just dusted . treated all them too.

If they are wet and it's that cold, I'd be surprised if they survive the night. They get organ damage.

they have been doing it for a while now and seramas are not supposed to be able to take under 40 degrees

Mine are hardy down to freezing, but in a dry tight coop. Man that bred them was around 6000ft up in the Sierra and had no heat in his barn. Said he lost a lot during the first few years.

I just strung the extension cords up to the bantam for the heat lamp. I put it on if it gets in low 40s or colder. They are getting older and I worry about them. Most nights it won't be that cold. 58 right now because it's raining.

I guess I am going to bed. Its been a long day. Hope everyone has a good night

Patchy fog. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 2. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening
