The Day At The Homestead.

The weather has changed to cold or I should say winter temps. The hens are still free ranging awhile outside. They stay near the coop more than wonder around. The ducks still come out and then go back inside the coop. We had insulated the chicken coop for the hens this year. The temp inside was 45 degrees while the outdoor temp was in the 30's. At night it gets warmer because of all the heat the hens give off. As soon as there is snow on the ground the hens and ducks will stay indoors for the winter. We will have to supplement alfalfa for grass they feed off in the summer.

I have to post more later on how the hens are doing! We have 41 hens, 1 rooster, and 4 duck!
