I went out yesterday around 5PM to hook up a heat lamp in the chicken coop and though I could feel the body heat from the chickens, they were still all huddled together.

I had built an automatic matering system just about a month ago and I was pleased it was still operational.

The time I took to plug in a heat lamp and position it, and walk the 25 yds or so back to the house was enough to chill right throught my thermies and bibs and carhart jacket.

That was at around 3 or 4 ABOVE yesterday.

My nostrils stuck together breathing

Just curious: what is an automatic matering system?
