How are your chooks coping with the snow? For most of mine, it's the first time they've ever seen it AND IT'S BIG LUMPS!!! They're all totally bemused by it So funny to watch them

Mine are sulking big time. They didn't want to come out of the coop, except the rooster boy that hasn't seen snow before. He came running out, as usual, stopped for a minute, and went straight into the peat shed! Usually he's first at the feeder as well the others just took one look and never came out!

i want to see cleo in the snow, asbo saw some learly this year, and wouldn't stand on it, was dead funny, he managed to get across the garden by jumping from one spot to another ...... and looking disgustedly at me like it was my fault ..... the dog loves snow, and usually comes in covered in it .... we never get much here, it seems to wait till it hits the hills, they will be covered and we have nowt ..... makes for a nice view out the bedroom window though

snow??? what snow???

You know how everything comes back to bite you in the bum. Just after I said it was lovely and sunny here it started to rain and now the garden is like a mud bath. Think I'll keep quiet about the weather in future.

............am worried about the snow and how chickens will cope. Will they be warm enough?

We drove home through the sleet which quickly progressed to snow. Everything is now white and as it's dark when we get home - the girls were in bed - well, the nestbox. Maybe it's because their door was open?

I wonder what they will make of it all in the morning? Hubby said this morning, that Korma didn't seem to like treading on the frosty ground as she was stood on one leg!

Chill wind is probably a bigger problem for a chicken than snow. As long as they have plenty to eat and drink, snow on the hen-house roof (or in the run) isn't really a problem for a healthy chicken used to the outside world.
