My other chickens did great. They stayed in their coops. I was scared for them. But the only thing that happened to them is they stopped laying all together! The road I live on in Claypool was really iced over and not too many people could drive on it! I wish I could post pics of my coop frozen...

Leah- Thats funny. But so true! I just wish I had a silkie.lol. I can't wait for mine to go broody this spring. If they will. I want them to hatch eggs. I wanna see the babies running around. They keep me bussy. Now I don't have to have anymore babies. My girls do it for me..lol.
Well... My neighbors got divorced and they had the chickens and a goat. They both moved into trailor courts and couldn't take them with. So they ask DH to take them. HE said yes. I said No. I didn't know how to care for them and I believe if you can't care for an animal you shouldn't have it...
This spring is when I want to introduce my roos to the girls. When is the best time to do this? I would now. But I am scared that one of the girls will go broody and the babies will freeze. So does anyone know when this spring would be best?
They are in and out of the coop all day. I WANT MORE EGGS. I can't wait. I am excited and I know it wont happen for awhile still. My neighbor saw my chickens and said they look great. That made me feel so good. I am new at this. But it is fun. I was kinda mad at first. I didn't want them. But...
I have 9 girls and the day I go out and find 9 eggs is when I will do a backflip. And I havent done one of those in 20 years..lol. I can't wait. I was excited to find 4 eggs today! lol..
I am going to talk to DH in a bit about it. I also think it would be fun for my kids to watch. They always wanna go see if they can see one laying. So maybe it could work out good for me. Yeah... That will be my sales pitch for Dh. Education for the kids. lol lol
