mullethunter Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've been around chickens ever since I was really young, but until I got my own where I can watch the from the house, I never realised how cat like they are when it comes to sunshine. At this time of year there is only sun in tiny patches of the garden and that moves around all morning (none in the afternoon at the moment). The Pekins have spent all morning following the patch! It's on the Eglu at the moment and they're doing wings out sunbathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 One of the nicest sights in the world A happy and relaxed bird soaking up the rays My orps rarely bothered, but the little polands loved the sun, maybe that's what you'd expect from their Mediterranean heritage, it's not quite the same in Orpington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 What is sun ? Actually there was some last Sunday and mine were enjoying it too. My garden faces North/North West so not much sun for us either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's clear and sunny today (FINALLY!!!) and they are loving it! they've dug themselves in the only sandy patch that finally has some sun in the garden again. Three content purring chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Mine are doing exactly the same, following the patch of sun across the garden, they are sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have various logs and various large stones dotted about in the garden and my chickens just love to sit on the rocks when the sun is on them. They prefer the rocks to the logs. I wonder if the stones warm up better and keep their poor little tootsies warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have a sneaking suspicion that the only reason Bernie jumps on me all the time is that my back is warmer than the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Our Pekins pile themselves at the back door where there's a bit of a sun trap in the corner ... lots of wing stretching, legs out to the side, climbing over each other for the best spot ... lovely to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
