Morning folks, and Welcome to the new folks also.
I didn't move the chicks inside from the uber brooder last night, but did worry. I just checked on them, and the temp did drop alittle, but they are fine. I did have to move one of the chicks in. She has been developing a lot slower than the others, and they were just knocking her around all over the place. She is currently in a brooder in the bathroom with Mr. Bear. The other chicks all have well developed tails, wings, and are much larger. She is smaller, slower, and she was getting bullied somewhat.
Doug took out the heater, and heated water out of the coop last week. Hopefully, the water isn't frozen in the big coop.
We had 4 hawks flying over the other day. They checked the place out, but my roosters herded all the girls into the huge pine tree. We have also had a large group of those buzzards flying around, but they don't seem to be interested in the chickens. Cass' silke ( Mama Silkie ) has been trying to hatch golf balls again, so she has been safe in the coop. She's the only one I really worry about with the hawks. I guess it's a good time for her to go broody, or pratice. Whatever she is doing.
