Okay, thanks! We are only supposed to get to about 30 F next week... I know yall get MUCH colder than we do AND for much longer... sooo I’m guessing they’ll be okay?
I think it’s just me feeling bad for them out there in that cold

For what it's worth, it's 21* here right now and birds are fine. I'm not particularly happy but they seem to be ok.

They'll be fine. It will be normal for them to fluff up and roost with their friends during the day, vs flitting around the coop.

It's turning into winter now, with 27*F this morning. Brr... Not used to this winter crisp air, I was enjoying the 30*Fs and 40*Fs last week.

Right now, the little nugglets are all snuggled up on the roosting (Not roasting, Grammarly) stick. Nice and warm.

Here's a chicken story of the day (might make this a thing, idk)

So, I have an EE named Gracie (Gold). She is 3 years old. She has seperation issues, and you never see her without Sadie, or the new pullets. Last May, she got very sick with something I didn't know.

I had no idea what it was, and she was sick, getting worse and worse every day.
On day 3, I honestly thought was going to die. I created a thread and the symptoms were random. The help I got was very helpful, nevertheless.
I was just holding Gracie in my arms (again, she cries when she's alone) when suddenly, this popped out.

And after some research, I found she had a lash egg. (she lays green eggs)
I did everything to help her, and she got so much better.
Within three days, she was out mingling with the others:

And even though she cannot lay anymore, I am still so thankful that she lived.
She is such an interesting bird though, so many stories.
