Hi friends!  In this episode we’ll be talking about preparing your coop and chickens for winter.  We’ll talk about the changing nutritional needs of your birds as they molt and how to meet those needs, some options for easier water, requirements for their shelter and bedding, and the big question, heat lamps.  Should they be used or not?  I’ll also share my strategy to avoid a winter egg drought, and touch on some ways to store eggs for winter use.  Let’s dive in!
 
All the Best!
Millie

31 | Are Winter Heat Lamps Bad for Chickens? How to Prepare Your Flock for a Comfortable Winter

** TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST **

Are you concerned about the current food supply?  Do you want to be more self-sufficient?  Are you longing to raise goats and other animals for food but don’t know where to start?  Do you wish you had a mentor to walk you through raising livestock?

I’m so glad you’re here!

In this podcast you’ll learn all about raising goats and other livestock, sustainable management systems that will keep you and your animals happy and healthy, and strategies to get self-sufficient by raising your own livestock for food.

Hi, I’m Millie.  Animal Scientist, cattle girl turned goat rancher, co-owner of Dry Creek Livestock, and simple living enthusiast.  Fifteen years ago, I began having severe joint pain that limited my mobility and affected every aspect of my life.  With no answers from the medical community, I got to work researching and found that chemicals in our food supply were causing my problems.  I removed them from my diet, and gradually my health and mobility were restored.  Since then, I’ve been on a mission to raise all of our own meat, eggs, and dairy.  I’ve put three decades of experience and a Master’s Degree in Animal Science together to teach you how to confidently raise livestock and give them the best life possible while fulfilling their ultimate purpose of nourishing your family, and I’m ready to share it with you!

If you’re ready to take control of your food supply, raise livestock with confidence, and provide your family with clean, healthy food, you’re in the right place!

Kick off your muck boots, pour a cup of coffee, and let’s talk livestock.
