Don't worry about me.....only chicken I have is in the frig for dinner. Now Big might have a problem. I think he sleeps with them.

i will hang some moving blankets over the windows and throw another couple bales of hay in the henhouse

the birds break down the bales and sling hay all over the floor , helps with insulation and also allows them to nestle down in the hay for warmth

when the bird are up on their roosts , they squat down and cover their feet

the temperature under the feathers on a chicken is about 109 degrees

they also bury their faces in their feathers

i will put some vaseline on the roosters combs to help prevent frostbite

the only time they were ever in the house was when they were baby chicks and we kept them in the garage under heat lamps

we also feed two feral cats , for 13 years lol , and i will let them stay in the bunkhouse until the danger is gone

he sad part is we will probably hear on the news about some ranchers who lost a bunch of cattle in the blizzard

pure neglect and abuse when they have had a weeks notice to get ready

I put the heat lamps out for my birds just yesterday after I had busted open a bale of hay for earlene in the pigpen. We have to keep our friends warm enough so they will be able to thrive when we have cold weather in.

Bruno the Killer hated my guts and actually is responsible for me taking a trip to the ER

it took me awhile to learn to never turn my back on a rooster

the sumbitch snuck up behind me and spurred me just below my ankle

i thought i had it cleaned out pretty good but noooooooo

yeah , it was a little blood poison and i was on antibiotics for about 10 days



RIP Bruno
