Oh joy....Gavin brought home a flyer for the annual pet and toy parade and he wants to take one of each of our animals. So somehow he's expecting a dog, a cat and a chicken to ride peacefully in the car there, along the parade route and on the ride home. I have 2 days to convince him this is a bad idea, so he's not upset when only one animal goes for a ride Wednesday.

ETA: Meant to post this on FB, sorry.
We like hearing about everyone's daily life, let us know which pet gets to go.
My calls are sitting on eggs for like 5 weeks now. I do not think any Will hatch. Tried to incubate some to no luck.
got more calls on the way to,,,,,they are little buggers to hatch
I have some Bobs, but they aren't old enough to breed yet. Chad got some from me, not sure how many he really wanted. How many are you looking for?

I'm close to wing.
now why does everyone say, I am close to wing, or I am close to chad.......does everyone know where i am at, or chad for that matter........and Ray why don't you come take one of these broodies off my hands, they will not stop....tempted to give them a corner with a couple eggs and let them be.

even the older one's need to be reminded what to do every now then.
Quote: I've never had electric in any of my coops, thus no heat. I've never last a chick to cold. I lost a couple that fell into water buckets & couldn't get out when I 1st started though.
Mine are already spoiled LOL, they sleep under a blanket on my lap when in the living room. We live right on the edge of a hill and we have a breeze everyday, and strong winds most of the winter, plus It's more for the waterers. I've read a few people use the pond heaters in the large waterers, but I know the heaters I've had were metal on the bottom and we put UP/ACV in their water, so I would worry about corrosion from the acidity. I'm probably overthinking it, but I'd rather err on the side of caution....

Really check into the heatlamps before you go that route. There are many bad experiences on here with using them in winter. I had no choice but to use them for my Seramas that can die with the weather we have here without heat. BUT I was a nervous wreck all winter. I constantly ran to the window hoping a bulb hadn't gone out, because if it blows and the birds are accustomed to the heat they can freeze to death quickly. I also worried about the fire hazard a lot. Many peeps have lost their coops and chickens to heatlamps & extension cords. There are other safer methods to heat the coop if you're really worried about them and the waterer. Cookie Tin Warmers(for the birds) and Cinderblock heaters(for the waterer) are cheap safer ways, among many others.
I have never heated a coop, they have always been fine, even the serama..my coops are blocked from the wind with the barn, that helps..
