JoAnn_WI_4-H_Mom: Can't you move the dog dishes outside of the coop?
Every one: What are the signs that it's just too uncomfortable for them?
I'm trying to remember that I'm cold doesn't mean they're cold but it's hard. ( I'm such a softy )
They are my first flock and I want to take good care of them.
I don't want to lose any toes or chickens to theses horrible temps we are having.
Every morn & eve they are getting hot gruel made up of cracked corn, Purina grower feed and fatty stock juices.
We are not expected to get above 20 for the forseeable future and it's mostly hovering around 10 day & night for the last week +.
Some assurances and/or advice please.
