Guess hens don't like the wind then...

Recommended Posts

My 3 pekins have been so funny today. It's been fairly breezy up here in the north east and the girls have been huddled together near the doorway of the cube for most of the day. When I put out their afternoon treat of dried mealworms and corn there was a mad rush down the ladder for it then a mad rush back up 2 minutes later! :lol:

 

Poor girls. They obviously don't like been blown around the run, and it probably doesn't help that they are such little things too.

Same with my two pekins, they shelter behind bushes or the other larger chickens. As soon as a bit of sun comes they are happier or if I open the back door to the kitchen, they run in and huddle together on the mat - such wimps :) altough I forgive them as they are so small being young bantams :!::!:

 

Do you think I need to keep them somewhere warmer over the winter :?:

 

we have underfloor heating in the bathroom and I am sure they will just love that :D:D:D

Mine really love playing in the wind :lol: They do the run and jump thing ( which obviously constitutes flying) to get the wind under them so they 'jump' for longer. We have a sloping garden, they run down the slope with the flying attempt and then walk back up and do it again. Hours of entertainment!
