Can you use those tin heaters with the black rubber bowls?

oh no, that is not good. Do you have a porch were you can put her?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

yes you can. go to thrift store and buy a big cookie tin it will fit on. buy a junk lamp or a new lamp switch kit. 40 watt light bulb. I kept a 3 1/2 gallon water on mine and the bulb lasted all winter .

So, any of you all in here the high-falutin' type that go to the fancy, schmancy poultry shows???? Beyond my participation in 4-H as a youngster I have not ever actually been to a "poultry show" and there is one coming up in October that is apparently quite the affair -- thinking I might go but not sure what to expect, how welcome "observers" are, etc.

I've been to the pacific coast regional poultry show twice. Nothing really fancy about it, just A LOT more chickens and breeds than I've ever seen at a county fair. They're all lined up in cages on tables and you are free to walk through and see them up close. When the judges are working in an aisle, it's roped off to foot traffic. Most exhibitors are friendly and will chicken chat and answer questions. Walt (fowlman01 on BYC) even let me hold one of his ko shamo pullets. Felt like I was holding a brick!

Anyway, if you have the time you should go. Gives you a chance to see how the breeds are really supposed to look, not like the hatchery stock most of us are used to. The only downside is that you will see all those amazing birds and WANT them!


It's where my son fell in love with Seramas. He got to hold this beauty. We have a few of her cousins!


HUGE Minorca


Massive Brahma.


Amazing Buttercup.


Oh, and there's lots of crowing.

I do, she broke the railing to get out once. Mark fixed it when he was here.

That a good plan, I only had the large coop last winter. This winter I have 4 that will need heated dishes. I'll have to check at Goodwill for some.

Reprimand and kick her off... She is going to take a lot of work. Wish I could help... My boys think I have a way with dogs and I love challenges. Ayiyi if I could just give that man my two cents!!!!
