Oh Faerie
I feel for you on losing the babies.

Thanks for the cookie tin info. I don't have metal waterers, I'm not sure if it'd be safe to use them with plastic waterers, anyone know? Here's a link I found for 1 1/2 g heated dog bowls for $23 on
Amazon.

I would think your group would be find in 100 sq ft. It's usually the winds that make it so dang unbearable. And if they're inside of a coop the wind is going to be blocked.
We got several of those oil filled heaters from
WalMart last year when they were $35 and they're awesome! Nice and warm, hardly use an electricity and they're safe. I'm hanging one in each of the 2 chicken buildings about 3' up the wall with the food & water by it in the hopes it'll keep their water from freezing. It should. My precious Faverolles will have a 4'x4' coop built into one of the buildings with their own 8'x'10' pen. I'll sure sleep better knowing all the chickens are inside of an actual building. We won't dwell on the fact that I spent all my Christmas money and then some for chicken buildings and chickens pens
If not for the fact mine are actual pets I wouldn't be so concerned about it. Evidently I'm not capable of owning living creatures without going overboard and getting attached. Sigh.

Thank God for that!! I know how good you must feel to have her right there with you. Here's hoping she has an uneventful recovery.
Well you aren't the only one that goes overboard. My hubby says those chicken could never produce enough eggs to support themselves! I say they pay in enjoyment! I caught him in the pen feeding my polish by hand the other day
