-40 this morning. Thermometer doesn't work. The waterer is holding strong (seriously the best investment) and the flock is loving the covered run.View attachment 4033262View attachment 4033263View attachment 4033264

Winter Photo Contests
Chilly Coop Contest!
Ends February 29th, 2024​

Welcome to BYC's Chilly Coop Contest. Some coops are purchased kits, and some are custom-crafted. Some coops are made of recycled wood, and some are painted. One thing that all of our coops share in common is a place for our feathered friends to lay their eggs and to keep their fluffy butts safe and warm in the winter. We want to see those cozy cottages and fortified fortresses this winter.

Prizes - TBD
