20-26 degrees? That is a heat wave from where I am sitting. It has been down to 4, 5 & 6 degrees and with all this wind it was-18 & -20 Degrees. When all this snow melts, will be more rain that will not get a chance to dry up because it will freeze every night. The older I get, the less I can take the cold. Gee the wee chickens, if the hawk during the day does not get them the owl will try from dusk to dawn. If the fox does not get them, then the Coyote will have a go at it. And the bear don't care what time of day or night, they like take out. Looking to down size so what is left? Will have enough room that they will nolonger free range. I tried to let my chickens out to free range before another winter storm blew in only this one is hanging around. Agh! I am more than ready for Spring this year. Keep Warm and keep your chickens warm too. Got to get some sleep.We got few inches of snow and the temperature around 20-26°F here for a week. The chicken refuse the be out in the snow. How everyone Bresse able to handle cold weather? How cold is where you are?

Our chickens refused to go out in it. W had about a foot of snow. It hit down to 4,5 & 6 and that willI'm late to the party...we had snow last week and the Bresse reacted pretty much like the rest of the flock - uncertain at first, not really wanting to walk in it, but then eventually getting over it.
We got down to the teens (and below zero with wind chill) and they were just fine.
