In Alabama, chickens do not need any added heat once they have their feathers, even in the winter. They do however need plenty of ventilation, both summer and winter.

I have two roosters to give to someone that needs them. One is a RIR and the other is an Americana. Both are about one and a half years old, (hatched in May of 2017). Send me a message if you need one or both of these roosters. I live in southern Jefferson Co., between Helena and Tannehill State...

Unrefrigorated eggs will last at least a month, probably longer.

I live in southern Jefferson County between Helena and Tannehill St. park., and I have about 15 laying hens and 3 roosters I am going to give away. I hatched 32 baby chickens this spring and they are about grown now, so I am running out of room. The ones I want to give away are 2 and 3...

Looks kool purple to me.
