Poorly chicken

[-sarahjayne]

Not one of my little girls wanted to come out this morning. I don't blame them though, we had about 8 inches of the white stuff.

 

beware of the snow chickens!

 

there is no way you're getting me out in that!

 

even Yvie didn't look impresssed..

 

despite the fact her house was covered in snow.

 

yvie tried to walk outside, but she realised it was a lost cause when it covered all of her legs and half her body

Aww, bless them, it looks like it might just as well be a brick wall they've come up against Cant say i blame them... brrrr.

[brambles]

bless them. My cochin got marooned on one side of the garden. She'd bumbled over chatting to her friend, but when she realised the extent of white stuff between her and her bedroom she froze! She needed helicoptering back (which involved allowing me to touch her!).

oh bless them

 

I love the horrified look on their faces - knowing that they should trust you - but really not liking the white stuff that is cold

My girls had the same problem - they couldn't decide whether to stay in or go out - Maud was the bravest(she is also incredibly greedy ) and went straight out into the snow.

My chickens didnt like the snow either to begin with and still dont. they just dont like staying in their shed so spend all day standing in snow no matter what. Ive taken to clearing their pen (well raking or shovelling the snow into piles). Its great exercise and my girls and boy love it. they love foraging in the snow but have areas of really thin snow when the get too cold so dont end up with bright pink feet! Also i have an area where thay can all fit that has a roof fairly close to the ground making it hard for snow to get in. they love hiding in this

hope this helps snow disliking chicks out there
