    Free ranging in snow?

    We got 3 inches of snow over night. I shoveled a path for my chickens and tried to get them to go out. I put one chicken by the door and kinda nudged her onto the ramp. She saw the white stuff, freaked out and ran back inside. The only chickens that have gone out today are my 4 hens that were...

    Free ranging in snow?

    My chickens rarely ever go out in the snow, but I always leave their door open all day so they still have the option to go out. I go out about every 2 hours to check on them in the winter, because I live right by the woods so I worry about critters getting in the coop in the winter. Just make...

    Free ranging in snow?

    Okay thanks! I'll try that when it starts snowing. We still don't have any snow in Michigan yet... :( But we might get some this weekend! Thanks for the tip. My chickens are some of the most stubborn animals I have ever met.

    Free ranging in snow?

    I normally free range my chickens all year. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot get my chickens to go out in the snow. I leave their door open all day, but they won't go out. Is there any way to convince them to go out? Because after being cooped up all the time, they start to fight. :/
