Jim(From the Wisconsin room) made this. It could be mounted on an outside wall and slats tacked all the way around it. He has a homemade heater with a light bulb in a bucket under it.but I think a cinder block heater would work so much better for outdoor water system. The cinder block would retain heat better.

Snowed about 6 inches today. Chickens refused to go out of the coop. Anyone else have snow?

ok I know this is totally OT, but is anyone able to get on fb? I'm getting the emails of threads I'm following, and able to reply via email, but I can't get the web page to load at all. or youtube for that matter now. maybe it'll be fixed by morning.

I posted a pic and had some comments about it from friends, (about pumping out more crumb crunchers when you can't afford the ones you have now) and thought at first maybe fb blocked me or something... but I've seen much worse and more controversial things than what I've said, so I would doubt that. LOL

edit: ok even weirder... I clicked a link to a post I got on email, and it opened right up on my laptop, but still won't on my desktop...

I suggest reboot, clear all browser history, and virus scan. Malwarebytes.org for a decent quick scanner in addition to your usual protection. If that link isn't right, google malwarebytes.

Bert on a post I started about cold temps made an insulated chicken waterer with nipples. His description of what he did is here: (I couldn't paste it for some reason)

Frostbitten rooster feet: A minnesota woman had her rooster die after his comb froze over the roosters nostrils. And she had a vet come check her flock, and he found a rooster with frostbitten feet. what the heck would that look like? How would you know if the feet were frostbitten?

Booster update: still active, still eating, seems just fine. No change in his comb appearance, but I'll get a pic tomorrow and post.

I got a second egg from Edie, twice as big, and definitely definitely green.

Question: one of the australorps went naked, all of a sudden in one heck of a hard molt. I am wondering about supplying heat for her. Not now, it is above zero, but in below zero, wouldn't you think I would have to help her out?

Coconut Oil pulling: And justine, I went and got cocount sugar after reading about it. And then I found something about oil pulling, not sure I understand it, but you take a quarter size glob of cocount oil, and let it melt in your mouth, swish it around, keep it in for 15 minutes and then spit it out. It is supposed to do all kinds of exalted things for you. Anyone know anything about this and has anyone tried it? http://coconut-oil-pulling.com/
