It's that time of year. Our chickens refuse to stay inside! 20 degrees here today and overcast & windy. Yesterday 1 of the roosters started getting frostbite on his comb and wattles. I treated everyone with a liberal layer of Vaseline. But today Mr. Violet still didn't look right, so I made him a hat... it's a little big.
What else can I do? I have 2 heat lamps in their shelter (& very dry). the hens are laying inside, but they just don't want to stay inside; they want to be outside in the snow. :/
