Thanks Gordon!
And thanks for the cold weather advice, birds were fine minus a little comb frostbite.

We had what will be my last show of the year in Comanche last weekend.
It was just me and Aaron Hickson, but you get judged 4 times so it feels like a good a good consensus.
There's no junior show.
Pics to follow.

Housing, Health & Hatching / Cold Weather Tolerance

« on: February 01, 2022, 10:44:11 AM »

I live in Fort Worth, Texas.  And I know most of you live in colder areas than me.  We have some cold weather coming and I wanted to ask some advice.  I know in general the birds can handle much colder than I probably will ever get here, but I have a question.  I have some pens built up off the ground.  They are covered on top and back and open in front and ventilated below. The birds stay dry in there just fine, but I'm concerned how much cold they can take like this.  Last winter we had worse cold and for longer, I moved them all out as it was my first winter with these cages, but would kind of like to know how cold they might be ok in here.  Pic is of the pens. Thanks Yankees!

Thanks Gordon, I brought my judging stick with me this time to poke 'em.  But with a double show I felt rushed, hopefully better ones in future shows.
