I have the bucket that I put all my kitchen scrapes in, in the morning a few times a week I mix in oatmeal and canned blueberries(bent cans that were thrown away at a plant so got them for free)and my homemade yogurt and hot water and mix it all togather and they have a warm breakfast.I especially do this on cold lmornings like this morning it was 3 below 0.It is so cute they know what they going to get and I have all these necks strectching upwards trying to see what I have to give them.Can you tell I like my chickens?LOL
I am excited to see a post about cold weather. I live in Northern Indiana and gets lots of lake effect snow and worried about having chickens in the cold an snow. I am doing all the reading I can but don't have much in my local library about chickens in cold weather. I would like to free range in the summer but am worried about feeding and free ranging in the snow. What do you do to keep them warm in their coops and around the snowy yard, assuming yours get outside? What do you feed them when there's two feed of snow on the ground?
