curious about why Orville is by herself - I usually don't segrate hens with bumblefoot. She'll b happier with the others, but maybe there is some special reason you have her alone. She will be ok, but lonely!
I'm kicking myself because when I left at 4:30 am, I decided to leave the coop door shut. And now all this sun! It was below 0 in the coop this morning. It will warm up nicely with the sun though.
I left it shut because of the -25 windchills predicted. They probably wouldn't have gone out anyway.
Nice that y ou can go home for lunch and check and adjust!
nice to have girls that will go out! this is the first time I've had to shoo girls out, not sure why, but things have changed since the new chicks last spring. Hate them being inside pooping all day, it gets nasty so much gfaster even though its deep litter.

Seems like they will be okay! Thanks, helps a lot.
I use a heated dog dish. Picked it up for $15 at the local farm supply store a few years ago. Works great!Trying to find a watering system that is easy. Feed is no problem, just have to carry all....
