This was an assault!!!

A wicked hilarious one, you have to admit. And great for blackmail.

It's the times when the issues do happen that concern me. Paranoid, I know... but I still worry.

I was just talking to a friend of mine and she was telling me about her heat lamp experience. She and her hubby had gone to town one day last month to get feed. When they brought the feed into the barn, they smelled something. Looked in the chicken area and they had knocked the heat lamp down. It landed right in the hay they used for bedding. All sides of the metal shield were touching the floor. It burned a hole straight through the floor! She has no idea why the hay didn't ignite. I won't use a heat lamp for grown birds in the winter.

Oh my, that's scary. Definitely no lamp for heating purposes, just for light if at all... figure less heat = less danger. Any bird that needs heat gets brought inside for a 'reset'.

Ralphie, indoor temperature is not relevant to this chicken news. The temp on the hill above the big lake is -5 with an anticipated high of +10.
You do win as the first post of the day.
