Whereas Nyssa winds up like an air-raid siren and goes into full bok-mode when she loses sight of her sisters. I think the neighbours would complain to the Council if I started doing that!

Haha! I can picture it!

This week be a really nice coop for you. Way better than that cheap prefab. Excellent decision.

im still going to build a smaller coop but it will be extra safe like this one
im probably going to sell it after a month or 2 lol

it won't a prefab coop it might be cheap, but it will still be sturdy
but for the big coop its cheaper than some of the prefab coops and will be better

The big girls have made it through weather this cold before in the big coop. It is too cold for a frizzle for sure.

No such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing as my husband keeps telling me!
Not like I wear inappropriate clothing by the way but he wasn’t best impressed when I wore my labutins to the westonbirt arboretum he could of told me it was a forest!

One learns to dress appropriately when one works in remote northern AB work locations where it gets to -45C brrrr!

What are labutins ?

 

[Ponypoor]

That’s PDC ! (Pretty darn cold). Wear the. Boots !

I think l it's the red laces he doesn't like or that they are very big and clunky. He doesn't do anything nwhen I wear other boots or such...

-20C is chilly but to really appreciate cold one needs to spend time in a northern remote location where it gets to -45C brrrr don't dare blink if you eyes water, your eye lashes will freeze together .

Whining about weather tax:

Spendy time with the geegees

I think that might be worse. After all they have decided to sleep separately for a reason (I have no idea what). She will be plenty warm enough in the garage. I have a small heater in there to stop the pipes freezing. Looks like it keeps the top of her dog crate at about 38F. Now I am worrying about her adjustment down to 10F in the morning!

I really worry about my silkies one is a frizzle, bit they seems ok, the barn is about -10C at is coldest past few weeks, at night they stay in the hen house where it's around or just above the freezing point (0C or 32F). They seem ok, my fizzle has decided it's time to go broody, so i am letting her sit on n a cozy warm nest box, her sister is thinking about being broody so the two hang out esp at night in that nest box snuggled together they look so darn cute together, but for practicality it's good they are together for warmth.

I. Hoping for some milder weather next Tuesday were it says it will be around 0C (32f). Personally I can't wait I hate winter and cold and snow... I suffer more than the chickies it seems!

Yee gads more whining tax...
