Why am I not surprised? ;-)They hens tolerate the cold much, much better!
MEMama3, Don't let the haters get you down! Someone gave me this advice when I was expecting my first child--"Everyone is going to tell you how you should raise your kids especially people who don't even have kids. Let them say their piece, smile & nod then do what's best for you & your family!" I feel the same way about chickens. Gonna go check out your blog now!People get heated (pun intended) about lots of chicken rearing issues. Heat, bedding, feed, space requirements, breeding practices. The list goes on and on. I just got my first negative comment on my homesteading blog, followed by a very angry email. The post was about chicken care. I guess people don't have an opinion about how I grow my vegetables or what I feed my family, or even criticize how I clean my home, but how dare I use sand in my coop, leaving my poor defenseless chicks to drown in pools of bacteria. It's a wonder I survive long enough out there to collect eggs. You'd think I'd be dead with some illness from all the diseases I've exposed my chickens to.
Sorry, that turned into a rant and I promised my husband I wouldn't dwell anymore lol.
DITTO what Jazor said!
I open the pop door & let the girls decide. Sometimes they go out and come right back in. We had no heat at my office today so the boss said, "Go work from home. I'll see ya tomorrow!" When I got home, some of the girls were in the sunroom, others were dust bathing. When they heard my voice, everyone in the coop came out too.Are you guys letting your chickens out today? It's 17 here, sunny and dry. They want to go out, but it still feels darn cold to me!
