Mine may get upset with us. We do not give many treats. Live mealworms 3-4 times a week. We do not do a lot of feed either. Our birds forage, are given fodder, and fresh veggies daily.

Great! I see that you take great care of your birds. We do a fermented mix with warm oatmeal now. I think it helped with the snowy days.

My husband made a solar heating element. The coop seems to be okay during nights of gray days too; just not as warm as sunny days.
