puffball Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Is it just my girls or was/is there a nation wide 'run, hide, stay there all day' attitude when the girls saw/see the snow? Only Gloria and Lucy were brave enough to stay outside [out of my chickens]. I think the others had a better idea though because Gloria was treated to a complimentary sled ride around the garden!

BarbaraJ Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I couldn't really answer that because mine were in their covered run but didnt want to come out into the garden lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 My pekins wanted to come out, but I was worried their little feathery feet would get sodden and frozen The older girls mostly lurked in the eglu whilst it was snowing, but came out as soon as it stopped...

Egluntyne Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 My girls came out once it started to melt a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a lovely mother to the girls - my attitude is more, if they're stupid enough to do it let them suffer the consequences(of course not if their safety is at risk but.. you know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 My lot couldn't wait to be let out - bit like kids! They've been freeranging all day and I've only just tempted them in with their supper. Hard hens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Nothing deters mine from their quest for food, snow, wind, horizontal rain, hail, they're far too greedy! They have been "barking" at the snow as it falls though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
