hurricane

Howdy Everyone! As you may have heard, the Midwest was struck by some pretty devastating tornados and hail this week. I live in one of the areas that was heavily hit. Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected. With Spring and warmer temperatures quickly approaching for many of us, severe...

With Henri hitting CT straight on tomorrow I have just set up my chickens in two cages tonight. Do they tend to chill when a bad storm like this comes? I am curious what to expect with them in a slightly smaller cage than their coop for the next 24 hours. It is taller but not as wide I...

Electric went out due to hurricane and expected to be out for some time. On day 17 of lockdown. So, with no warm bator and only one store bought egg with a chick inside to hatch, had to keep egg in my shirt....you know where as boobage cleavage is warm and when made delibrately humid, viola...

Do not wait until the last minute to prepare. BE prepared. I will try to update this threads with survival tips when I can..

I'm in GA, near Augusta and in wondering what everyone is doing to prepare for the storm. My 9 chickens are in a dog kennel with a tarp over the top and a pallet coop inside. Not the strongest structure, I know, but I didn't build it with a hurricane in mind. My plan is to build a bigger run and...

So it looks like hurricane Florence is headed directly towards where I live and is expected to be a cat 4 upon landfall. Will my geese be fine staying in their enclosure? It's around 200sq ft with a small box/house attached to the back of it that enclosed and sturdy. Half of the enclosure has a...

This morning I awoke to a landscape overwhelmed with smoke from nearby wildfires. Unfortunately that time of year is upon us and Colorado is in drought. It got me thinking, as it does every year, what my plan is for evacuation. When do I decide to go? What do I pack? What do I do with my...

We have over 20 laying hens that produced 15-16 eggs per day. When we were hit with the hurricane they stopped laying. It has been over 2 months and they are still not laying but 1 or 2 eggs per day. Is there anything we can do to get them to start laying again? Is it possible they may not...

MOST FOLKS DID NOT TAKE IRMA SERIOUSLY! UNTIL SHE TURNED TOWARDS US.. Last minute store raids w/empty shelves.. 5 mile lines for gas only to get to the pump and it's empty. NO WATER. NO POWER. TREES BLOCKING ROADS. FLOODING. PREPARE RIGHT NOW. BE SMART. FILL YOUR BATHTUBS WITH WATER. KEEP...

Tomorrow there's gonna be a really bad storm and we may lose power, and I just hatched chicks in an incubator today. How can I keep the chicks warm?

I came across this page thought it was really good and wanted to share. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/08/hurricane-preparedness-for-backyard.html

Hey y'all, I hope this is the right tread to post this in... We live in sunny Central Florida, and it's starting to look like that category 4 hurricane Irma is going to directly hit our area. I've lived through a few hurricanes, but not with chickens. Any suggestions on what to do?

Hi, I live in Houston, and Hurricane Harvey is heading our way. We are not evacuating, as we have pets, tenants, etc. I think we will be keeping the chickens in the bathroom, we don't wan't them blown away or anything. Do you have any advice on chickens and hurricanes? Topics such as: where to...
