    Wet Hens!

    Very nice pictures, thanks. I wish it were in the 40's here today🥶. It did make it to 11°

    Freezing temperatures

    Yes, to both, but I was afraid they may be too "stupid" to take advantage of what they have. Not to be misunderstood, we love our chickens, we name our chickens, but sometimes one wunders about their mental state. Thank you for your response.

    Freezing temperatures

    Chickens out in pen during minus degree wind chills. Have access to going inside, but don't. I don't want frozen combs. Should I have kept them in?

    Introducing chicks

    Thanks for your response. The run is secure. The attacks are coming while they have the run of the yard. So I guess its up to me to either monitor them closer or keep them penned in.

    Introducing chicks

    My situation is this: I now have only one hen left after a number of predations by hawks. I'm wondering if I bring in young chicks will this hen act like a mother hen or will she get aggressive to establish the so-called pecking order?
