Hi everyone, My aunty Sue has just come over from Canada and we told her about us getting chickens, she is very impressed but is wondering what do you do with the chickens in extreme weather in Canada and America? when its -30 degrees? what do wild chickens do?

 

Thanks for any replies

Xray lady regularly posts on here, she is from the US and has an album in the gallery showing how she protects her chooks from extreme cold. It is possible! I'll try to find a link.

 

Found it! Here's the link to the thread on the US forum: http://club.omlet.us/forum/viewtopic.php?t=72

Thanks for that! iam now trying to persuade my auntie to get some but she says no because she would feel too guilty if they died of frostbite

There are specific "winter/cold hardy" breeds available in countries with extreme climates and where very low winter temperatures occur.

 

I cannot think of the names of any, but a quick search on Google should retrieve some results...

omigod - there's a US Forum? Is it like a parallel universe - I had no idea there was one there as well!

 

I hope they have as much fun as we do

Ans: There is, it is & we do.

 

Parallel universes present some problems though, Olly. For example,we must be careful to never meet. If an Egluowner encounters an anti-Egluowner, theory predicts mutual annihilation in a puff of neutrinos. . .

When I first looked for an Eglu on Omlet I found the US site & I wondered if Eglu's were an American product that some forward thinking person had decided to import over here. I soon discovered the true history of Omlet
