The background bokophony sounds like the weird swell noises at the end of Echos |

Hi Gordon, it's my first winter with boks too! On really cold ~0F nights I've been putting boiled water into old fashioned hot water bottle wrapped in a crappy old airline blanket and put that in their coop, bc i was worried about a fire from a heat lamp. Sounds like your brick setup will be safe though! I've read you should only use extra heat on the very coldest nights bc otherwise they won't get as used to the cold Also i put in a nightlight on a timer and I've been getting surprisingly many winter eggs! I've read it's more about light than temp. If you do the night light thing, set it to come on a few hours before sunrise, rather than in the evening - otherwise they'll get real confused at bedtime and cluck confusedly at the door to their coop unsure if it's day or night. Plus if you have it come on in the morning, their coop door will still be closed and they'll kind of be a captive audience with their nesting box

Today Penny was acting listless and had watery poops and i was so worried she had coccidiosis, but now hours later she's very energetic and normal again so i think she just ate something weird and got the ol' temporary indigestion. I know i feel listless when i have bad indigestion! Major phew moment when I came outside and she ran over instead of huddling in place |
