Its been snowing and raining here for 2 days now. I havent let the girls out of their coop. I got the stink eye when I went out there today. They all ran to the door hoping I was going to open it.
Here is my thoughts on it. I havent been letting them out because I dont want them getting all wet, my girls love to be out in the rain. Yeah I know silly girls.
But it has been dropping to high 20's low 30's at night. I dont run heat lamps in my coop, nor do I want to start. So I figured they would be better off being forced to stay in their nice dry coop so they wouldnt have to sit the night in freezing temps with wet feathers. Am I wrong?
I know I dont like keeping them in, it costs me an arm and leg in feed keeping them in.
