I'm worried about the snow and frost bite as well. I wish I knew how to knit, I'd make them all a touque with a pom pom lol! I am another who absolutely adores her chickens and would feel terrible if something happened to them!
I am a new silkie mommy and I am just terrified that a hawk is going to get my babies. We let them free range in the front yard. There are trees etc but I'm still scared. I would be so upset if something killed them! would they know if a hawk was circling around?
