I'm talking about babies.

All I have is the one Peahen. I am wanting to get into them but I just do not have the time at the moment to get a nice pen built for them. My girl kept ending up next door in their trees.

Hi BlueGoose! I'm not too far from you. Shelley is trying to get together a Chickenstock for May I think. She is in Columbia. If she can get one together, you are more than welcome to stop here and ride over with me.

I made a coop water heater that seems to be working very well. Today it is 0F outside and it was 20F in the coop. I bought a standard base cleat light socket from the hardware store and screwed it onto the center of a board about 12"x12". I attached a length of lamp cord to the cleat socket and added a plug end (hardware store). I swept away all the deep litter from the floor where I wanted to set the heater. Set down the board, and centered a 6" thick concrete block over the socket. Make sure there is no combustible bedding or straw in the open cell of the block. I bent the edges of a sheet of galvanized flashing to create a water shedding lid for the block. I set my plastic waterer on top. I changed the bulb to 75W when the temps dropped, but a 40W was keeping the water ice free just fine. All the extra heat keeps the concrete block radiating warmth all day. I think I spent $5 on the entire setup.
