How'd you get those chickens to walk on the snow??? Mine wouldn't touch it until I put hay down for them walk on and several of them even have feathered feet......sissies!

Hey, you try walking trough the snow with bare feet (or so my pullet, Scout, informed me this morning).

Pics from Friday nights trudge out to the coop to lock everyone up. It got dark fast due to the snow we were getting. Just got done clearing it all today. Luckily it was powder, about 7 inches of it.

Front porch

just some ice cycles

the walk

a potato fork I left in the garden after digging the last potatoes just before our first big snow..that will need some clean up and oil in the spring.

the run, check the fresh powder on top of the old snow the has compressed on top of the 2x4's

the brooder that I need to bring in the garage in the spring. Not enough room in there right now with the motorcycles.

EE hen and some stink eye

Turkeys...Evil Bas%$#d and BIG FAT HEN looking at the camera.

One more stink eye

As you can see no frostbite on anyone. Just now starting to get a little frost in the coop, but not much. The bottom is supposed to drop out of the temps this coming week. Should be a hoot...

They know the path leads to the front of the house where they can run up and down the driveway and they can hang out on the stoop. As long as the snow is packed down they don`t mine as much.

I dug the snow for the first 12 inches, but as it kept coming I sprinkled barley straw on top of the snow. They walked on it to their feeder and pecked at the barley, double benefit for the straw!
