So beautiful when it's snowing. Love your light Brahma. They are very striking.

How do so many of you have chickens that will just casually walk through snow? I have 20 chickens; none of them understand they can walk through it. My 14 hens won't set foot in it. Of my 6 cockerels/roos, 2 also won't touch it, 1 is downright snow-phobic, and the other 3 cautiously wade in until their feet disappear and then get "stuck" and cry until I come rescue them.

Most of mine panic too on snow.

We barely had any snow this Winter.
This is all I can offer.

Well.. mostly they didn't get a choice. (Not an entry)

.... You'll notice they stick to the lowest amount of snow they could.

They ducks treated it like a pond. The chickens acted like it would eat them. Tbf, I don't like my feet being frozen either.
