Bomb Cyclone

[Berhobbit]

Hello! We live in Colorado and our chickens as well as us are about to experince the bomb cyclone snow strom. What do we do with our chickens now? The snow has started, they are wet, but I don't know if they are too cold. I'm just wondering if I should bring them inside or just lock them into the coop. The tempeture will only drop to the high twentys but it will be super wet. Please help!

Just keep them confined in their coop until the storm passes. That's what I do. As long as they are out of the wind and snow they will be okay. 20 degree temps aren't that hard on chickens. The storm hasn't gotten up here yet but I just put some alfalfa hay of the floor to give them something to do while they are confined.

Okay thanks for comfiriming! We will do that right now!

They will be fine and the alfalfa is an excellent idea!

I just leave the pop door open, it has a tunnel entrance, and I let them decide. They know more about being a chicken than I do!
