YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 17 months of work, the urban hen initiative has PASSED in Billings, Montana!
October 10, 2012 the ordinance becomes active. The annual permit will be $25 and be available at the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter on Monad.
We encourage you to "Like" the Magic City Hens...
As for frost bite I find it helps if you use vaseline on combs.waddles and feet about every 2 weeks. Keeps the moisture from attaching to them when they drink.

It also gets very cold here in Billings. I have had my girls for 3 winters and I do not heat the coop.
Lots of coops burn down from heat lamps if you read some of the articles here in BYC.
I feed a small amount of corn in late afternoon which helps them make body heat digesting it...
