Until you can get a supply I think you'd better go out to the hens every hour, on the hour, rub your hands together to warm them and then apply ten minutes of palm-heat to each hen's bottom as a stop-gap measure. It's the humane thing to do. You could whistle while you warmed. Something from Vera Lynn's repertoire would go well.The Owl Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484484539144369129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-59131217134892377802012-02-07T05:57:16.923+00:002012-02-07T05:57:16.923+00:00And now floods of people are going to tell me that...And now floods of people are going to tell me that it happens regularly.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
