sapper756 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Considering the current freezing temperatures, what if any precautions do fanciers take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymac Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I change the drinkers more frequently to ensure the birds have access to water. I also make sure the path to the lofts are cleared and treated so there are no risk of slipping/falling on an icy surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Burgess Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 i do less than i ever used to . it was minus 9 here overnight . i will give clean water at feeding time and thats it . doors are open , theres no wind , so no draughts. the birds look very well indeed in my opinion.
