Moving to cold weather and need advice

if you're looking for a dog run/kennel of some sort, check this site http://www.horizonstructures.com/kennels.asp and http://www.atalarahsap.com/kopek-kulubesi.aspx hope it helps
If not, then if I were you, I would google
Good luck

 

Or, if you want to leave them here and start over, I will take them off your hands...lol.... I am in Pembroke, right up I16 from you. And sorry to see you go....

 

LOL at Kentucky being "cold weather"

Unless you have very large-combed breeds it is unlikely to be a real big problem. Any chance you might be able to put them in a garage while you get permanent quarters set up? Or just knock together a rectangular plywood box, it doesn't have to be fancy or even have a sloped roof (tarp it atop the plywood, will be fine temporarily) til you can do something better. A chainlink dog pen makes a great run, no harder to predatorproof than any other kind of run and generally considerably stronger.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat

 

What's the temperature differential? If it's very large, your chickens could have a problem dealing with a sudden temperature shift that they're not acclimated to.

 

Quote:This could be a concern...I think Savannah is a pretty warm area, isn't it?? While that area of Kentucky isn't horribly cold, I'm sure there will be decent temp. diffference. Your chickens' normal nightly lows will now probably be their daily highs...lol. Don't know what your accomodations were in GA, but you'll need to insure that they have a draft free solid housing to snuggle into - LOTS of bedding. And whatever run you end up with, try to find a way to cover it, as you WILL have snow, something I'm sure your birds aren't use to. So they'll probably spend most of their time inside the shelter this winter anyhow... Good luck with your move!

 

We Georgians will miss you!
