I'm glad to hear that my chickens aren't the only ones that refuse to go out in the snow. When I saw they weren't coming outside I got worried.
My one question is should I have food in the coop? I keep the food and water outside in the run, and the chickens come out to eat and drink. Do they need food or water in the coop?
Initially I kept food and water in the coop but they didn't really touch it, they mostly just made a mess of it, so I took it out.
This is my first winter and I'm still in my first year with chickens so I'm still in the learning process!
