Hello fellows 8D
----------------------------------------Some weather stuff..... Physical one has show some mercy today, there is blue sky first time something like several weeks. I almost get drunk from color of horizon. Little freeze and no wind, little a bit snow, such a beautiful day..... Economic weather is forwarding to midwinter, it has been getting colder so long that now everybody seems to accept their destiny. This trend has now continue so long time that all turmoil has ended, now there is this odd silence.  I really like this.... I have create root strong enough to penetrate though this permafroms, so I really can take joy out of this. This is how I remember this county as kid, cold, dark and silent place on edge of Europe. I really like this, I really do  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy97lOwvECs  [Edit 1 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Nov 13, 2009 1:36:47 PM] |

We get our first freeze tonight ... had to turn on heat lamp for the chickens. Cheers MC! I do not put on the heat lamps for the chickesn until I need it to keep the water open. They just fluff up their feathers and roost. therre are enough of them in the shed(coop), about 40, that their body heat will keep the water open until the temperatures consistenly hit the low 20's. Below zero F I need to put a second heat lamp in the keep the water open and I change it twice a day then, because it tends to partially freeze. If There a some clucky hens they will sit on the eggs to prevent them from freezing, but some just lay theirs on the floor so they might freeze overnight. Those are the ones we keep and use, can not sell them. Cheers

I'm not sure what kind of heat lamps you use there, but I did use those sold for chicken (yes the real ones) on argimarket when I was living on student village. My room was little a bit too cold to my taste and I did not want to drag there any oil filled heaters there, those blower types make noise and burn dust. So I went to agrimarket and buy three 250w heat lamp and replace incandescent with those. 750W does not sound much but IR does not heat space, it only warm those object were radiation hit, so it is highly directed heat and it was enough to give some extra heat to one chair Like these:  |

Maybe this work better, I hope so. |

The clear ones are 125 watt and the red ones are 250 watt (at least here they are). I start with the lower wattage and move to the higher depending on how cold it gets. Never thought to use one for a heat lamp from the ceiling for a chair. Cheers

Probably over kill but they seemed to be enjoying it this morning.  Happy hens lay happy eggs. EDIT: @St.Joe: 30 of those little raptors.  I only have four RIR's and they supply me and two neighbours. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dataman at Nov 15, 2009 2:03:11 AM] |
