Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earthâs surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.Granite is the best-known igneous rock.ranite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.

This is dry, air, almost absent of humidity. Each year we know that egg production will drastically decline and that a heat induced molt is coming. The molt is not really from the heat but from the stress it places on our flock, so technically it is a stress induced molt.
The only time I heat my coop is during a sudden, precipitous drop in temperature, just to help ease the transition for my cold weather chickens. 4. Donât forget to gather eggs more often than usual. If you have cold weather chickens, some may continue to lay during the winter, and the eggs could freeze.While this doesnât really hurt them, exactly, it IS a risk for bacterial contamination, because the frozen egg contents expand, and can create tiny hairline cracks in the shell you might not see with the naked eye.f the coop is heated, theyâll never become real cold weather chickensâtheyâll never get used to the cold winter temperatures outside. Then, if you lose power and their heat goes out, the sudden sharp drop in temperatures with no time to acclimate means you could lose your whole flock in one terrible, fell swoop.
