What breeds?My hatch happened, but I haven't started advertising yet because I've nowhere indoors to host people buying chicks. My hatchery is very small!

I hope she’s ok!On the bright side today doesn't seem too too bad compared to the last few days. Actually had a few birds hanging out on the ramp
I had a pullet who literally had frozen feet last night thoigh. Hoping nothing gets worse for her
I’m sorry you lost a roo... what a shame.I did loose a rooster to the cold yesterday. I turned the chicken bucket into a warm mash bucket by boiling a bag of frozen corn and dumping it over the scrap contents and pouring that out for the girls. They loved it. I'm lucky not to have a cistern being close enough to be on Lockwood water, but the septic system does slow down a little this time of year for sure. Frost line here is 6 feet I think. Another plus for basements. This old house has other problems, though. Should be rewired...
Ooh no!! That’s what I was so paranoid about this week. My GLW looks like she might have frostbite on a toe, but maybe it’s dirt... I don’t want to have to cull any.One pullet has bad frost bite on her feet, blidters and all. Hoping she doesn't lose them as shes one if 2 from this season in this flock I like
You'll notice it's frostbite. The toe will either shrivel up and fall off or the whole foot will get blisters and swollen. My pullet decided to go the swollen routeOoh no!! That’s what I was so paranoid about this week. My GLW looks like she might have frostbite on a toe, but maybe it’s dirt... I don’t want to have to cull any.
I lost most of my legbar combs in this cold snap for sure....
This is what I want, but my husband is like “Chickens are like dogs, we can’t just go on vacation without setting up a caretaker first. That’s why we don’t have dogs.” He uses the dog analogy because like chickens, I want a dog, and he doesn’t.Legbars ( gold crele and cream) and black silver and blue silver marans.View attachment 2531142
Ooh that sounds painful. I do not see shriveling or blistering on her yet.You'll notice it's frostbite. The toe will either shrivel up and fall off or the whole foot will get blisters and swollen. My pullet decided to go the swollen route
I'll try to get a picture for reference since I have both types curdently. She's walking fine though so I'm wondering just how much it actually hurts. She's babies her foot before for lessOoh that sounds painful. I do not see shriveling or blistering on her yet.
