Nicola O Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Oh poo, was going to give the eglu's a good scrub out today, but we've got snow. Couldn't do them yesterday coz it was raining and they weren't done last weekend coz it was raining . Oh well, just have to run out there, empty the pooh trays and put in the spare roosting bars. I don't suppose the chooks will mind, it's probably just me worried about them being scrubbed spotless . Nicola. (the snow is only just starting to settle here, just heard on the news that parts of Lincolnshire have got four to six inches of snow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I'm sat watching my boys playing in the garden right now - they are building snow and chicken poo-men I told them to go and do it in the front garden, not the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 hehe we've just come in too. We did use the front gardent hough. I wish I could get proper warnings of snow so I can clear up all poo (different varieties) before it snows so I can just let them loose out the back rather than having to watch them.

crazygal Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It snowed for about half an hour here- not exactly blizzard conditions but very pretty to look at. Its gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It started snowing here at just gone 6am and has just about stopped now. The chooks have had a potter and retreated under their favourite bush. Must be a chilly day fir them - it is very wet snow and starting to melt already!!

Hi - my two kids are out complete with wellies and gloves and 1" of snow!!! Are the chickens allowed out in the snow - their run is clear but they are dying to come out because the kids are in the garden and they are used to coming out when they are playing. Is it okay for them to walk around in the snow??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yes...but they probably won't linger! Chicken poo does show up against the snow doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are my chickens allowed out to play in the snow with my kids - we only have about 1/2 cm but the chooks are desparate to get out?? Is it okay for their feet???

Mrs Webmuppet Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's snowing heavily here. The chooks are standing in the run staring at the snow. I did give them a bowl of mash with warm water, sultanas and sweetcorn this morning to warm them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
