Fireworks time....do you do anything to help your flock

[Kiki]

It's that time again.
My dogs have already started pacing back n forth.
They neighborhood is booming with the fireworks.

Do you do anything to "help" your chickens cope throw the blasts?

I figure there's not really much I can do so we carry on as usual.

I Agree...
I just want to see if others do or not too.
Thanks.

I do I lock the chickens in their coop and it lessens the boom.

Same here, but mine don't seem bothered by them. But then hubby's always banging or welding on or....Lots of noise all the time.

My birds don't seem fazed by it at all....and luckily the dog I have now is not either.

My adult birds are not phased by them. The young ones take note but do not run around all crazy.

The dogs.....well that's a different story.

It's not so easy for my chicks, they, are 7 and 9 weeks old, And my big, proud head of the flock was lying on the floor of the coop with her head stuffed between the ameracauna cockrels. They and my other suspected cockrel were standing up, but with a scared loom in there eyes and Emily (who we haven't given a cockrel name yet) couldn't stop crowing. My only idea that actually isn't mine, one of the kids had it, has been to somehow stick a blanket over the wire in the coop. They could still hear, but they can't see. Would that work? It really doesn't help that our neighbors have professional fireworks. (Seriously, if they could cram it into a 10 minute show and advertise it, they would attract the whole neighborhood)

These are my first ever chicks so I don't have a clue!

A blanket might work, do they have a house in the pen they can go in?
