We actually couldn't help ourselves, and when the chickens were all standing at the back patio door looking miserable, me, my dh, and my 8 year old daughter, each took a chicken inside to cuddle with in the living room. Because of the blizzard, we thought about putting the chickens (about 14 weeks old) in a large plastic storage bin in the garage, or even the laundry room just for the night. But I thought it might be even more stressful for them to be out of their usual sleeping place. I am so not looking forward to trying to clear snow out the run tommorrow when wind chills will probably be 20-30 below zero. I have an Eglu so the coop/run are very small scale. I have the run covered with a tarp, but because the snow is so powdery, and the wind is so fierce, the entire run is filling with snow from the entrance, and it's not like I can walk in there to shovel it out. I should have just removed the waterer and food dish for the night, since I'm sure they'll be buried under snow tomorrow. If it weren't for the expense and maintenance (staining, keeping wasps from building nests on it, etc), it would be so nice to have some kind of "walk in" coop, where the chickens could actually hang out with a little recreation area out of the elements! We actually have a snow free area under our 14' trampoline that they wouldn't even go to because of the miserable weather outside, even though I shoveled a relatively snow free path for them. I can't believe that it's not even Thanksgiving yet, and winter hasn't even "officially" begun! All this work, and I probably won't get my first egg until next February. They're really making me work for it!
