The Winter months can be hard for every chicken. Wattles are in danger of frostbite and the water cans freeze, leaving the chickens thirsty. Thanks to a few tips, my chickens are as happy as ever! Here is the list:
-Put a heat lamp inside of the coop
-Use a heating pad for the water cans
-Feed them plenty of food and scratch(chickens have to lay eggs as well as take care of themselves. The extra treat will go a long way.)
-Have a sheltered area in the coop
My chickens have survived two harsh winters so far and are still laying eggs!
