Anyone else Raising Chicks right now?

We had ours in the house for a decent while, and the weather was all good. . . We've never before, well, we once had freezing temps in November. . . And even when it snowed, I never saw the outage happening. . . We have only TWO inches of snow, and almost no winds. . . sigh.

Here's the sad part - When we DO have hurricane force winds and torrential rains. . . Power outages usually last one to two hours.

Last Winter here in Wa was SOOO much better than this craziness!! I was filling a water dish in the ducks pen today and within 20mins the wire 3ft around the hose was covered in ice!

I do have a good, small coop that would work well for moving them into but I dont know if I am gonna wanna do that if this weather keeps up.

Are those meaties? We had a Cornish a while ago and it dealt with the cold weather WAY better than the others. that thing ran hot all the time!

I have 6 cornish and I guess they put out a lot of heat because all my chicks have been off any heat since 3 weeks, they all just cuddle up together and under the cornish and they stay warm enough!

Oh okay, couldn't see their speckles in the pics

Wish I could find some Delewares around here, I had a few that I rescued but I rehomed them.

Very beautiful & sweet chickens!
