I’m resetting my password to get back to the group. I joined about 11 years ago. I just enjoyed the article about owning an aging chicken and it warmed my heart to see how many others still have their aging chickens. I have the last of my small flock left and she’s about 11 years old. She is a Golden Wyandotte named Wynona, and she’s my pet. Really worried about her as this is Southwestern Tennessee and we have just had a winter storm. 5 inches of snow on the ground since Tuesday, single digit nights, no above freezing days. Today is Thursday and tomorrow is going to be colder than today. We have worked hard to try to winterize her small tractor chicken coop. She has a heat lamp inside, towels, blankets on the tin roof with a huge tarp over it. She has a heated water bowl, but it is 40 feet away and she won’t come out. So I set a bowl of warm water, and her breakfast (goodies) inside the bottom part just inside the door. The heat lamp is in a bucked turned upward to heat the floor of the part she roosts in. She’s alive. Just hope she makes it.
Good luck to everyone with their chickens in this Winter 2024 January!
