What's the temperature where you are???

20 degrees F right now, a low of 5!!! The coldest temps we have had yet so far this season. I feel bad for the chickens honestly. We cant run heat out to the coops if we wanted. one of my girls is conveniently (sarcastic) molting right now.

The pic does not do her justice exactly how many pin feathers she has! Lol

Noon Thirty. Water containers froze up over night. Time to beg, borrow, and steal all the cardboard I can find.

... And I was able to get the cardboard I needed. I have a buddy that works for a tool & die shop. They are always trying to get rid of their boxes.

I spent most of the evening tonight cutting and stapling cardboard to the inside of the coop walls to create a "dead air space". The chickens were good company. My "alpha hen" was playing the part of "Inspector 12"
