Here are some top tips to keep your 'chick' -ens warm and happy this winter 🐔

❄️Insulate the coop - Cover the coop with blankets, bubble wrap, or cardboard. You can also stuff holes with straw or paper to block drafts, but make sure to leave ventilation holes open.
❄️Provide supplemental heat - Featherless ex-caged hens may benefit from a heat lamp. In colder climates, you can keep the living space at or slightly above freezing.
❄️Provide roosts - Roosts keep chickens off the cold floor and provide an elevated space for them to sleep.
❄️Provide a water defroster - A water defroster can radiate warmth and keep chickens from freezing.

Do you and your staff understand best milking practices that maximise milk yield, while minimising milking time?

It's not all about fast milking. It is very much possible that milking cows too quickly can result in Bimodal Milking, a lack of udder stimulation that can cause milk flow to reduce. Therefore it is important that all milking staff understand and implement a balanced routine - keeping cows happy and milk yields high.
