For the cold I use those thermocubes, a temp sensing three plug outlet. When it hits zero the cube powers on and a heat lamp or your choice of heat is powered. When the temp rises ten degrees, it will shut off, no human intervention needed other than to check it is working and the bulbs or what have you is good to go as well. I have them in 45/35, 20/10 and 10/0. The last number is the trigger point, the first number is the shut off point. I set them in stages for the bantys this year. The long legs of the Modern Games seem to was their ability to deal with real cold.

I am into SDW OEGB's those are what I favor. The wife likes Modern Games so I keep for her some Birchens, Self Blue and Brown Red pullets. She also has a Brown Red rooster around the place. Pretty in a way, but kind of weird just the same.





I suppose I am getting used to them, and she loves them. Keeps everyone happy you know.

I really like modern game, but I don't have any. Love the birchens, especially the pullets/hens. When I was younger, scoured through my Dad's SOP, but never thought they were actually that high stationed. They are very unusual.

What do you get when you cross a bbred dutch with a male Wheaton?

 

[hootiehoo15]

This is my little Ms. Spite, named so because from the time we got her as a chick she's been very mischievous and always up to something

At the place, minus forty is the worst I have seen, A couple of minus thirty times, usually we will hit minus twenty every year at least once. These events set in for a week or longer, sometimes two weeks. We keep kerosene on hand for when the fuel sets/gels up in the tractor fuel tanks. It sucks the life out of most everything… About forty miles east of me is a place we call Peter Sinks. This place is one of those freak places where it is often in the top five to ten coldest places in the lower US. The other day it was minus fifty up there, a couple of weather nuts go up to get the readings, I just have to ask why? This cold drifts down off the mountain and we get that. The temp on the right is minus fifty, but that is as low as this temp probe can or will go… how cold is it really? Dam cold. I don't think it is so much how far north one is, as much as how high up you are. The two valleys to the north and east of me are ten, then twenty degrees each colder than us. They don't keep many chickens up there. I live in Cache Valley, north and a little east of me is Bear Lake Valley, then Star Valley, Jackson Hole and then Yellowstone. About 3.5 hours away. I am in US zone six, I think, the others are in zone seven. Seven is very cold to say the least. Perhaps you have to see the plug removed from a fuel can, then tipped over… with nothing coming out of it to understand that kind of cold. Often we just let the motors run, idling other than risking not being able to start them again. Battery cold crank power is not much of a match to brutal cold. Stay in, stay warm. RJ

Sir, that is terrably cold!!! Its cold enough here in Kansas!
