Oh thanks Tracy, I do love them! They have taught me so much along the way as well as given us countless breakfasts…
Peas,

Welcome to the crazy chicken lady world! Yes, the PVC in the coop is a feeder- works great in the Winter when they spend most of their time close, but I don’t really use it in the summer. We don’t really insulate, but do have a heating pad under the water to keep it from freezing and a light bulb (inside a cage) that goes on early in the morning all winter long, this light helps keep them laying and warms up the coop during the coldest times. That said, as long as chickens are kept out of the wind they can stay warm – frost bite on their combs/wattles is a bigger concern… but you’ll have time to figure all that out! Feel free to message me directly on FB or IG if you have more questions too! 🙂 also- take all the pics, those chicks grow up SO FAST!!
