I just spent over a hour outside with everyone. I let Chiquita and Poppy out to mingle but they pretty much stayed with Branch or to themselves. It warmed up today so about half the snow in my yard has melted and I made a observation. While they did eventually make their way to the melted patches Chiquita and Poppy clearly enjoyed and preferred to spend their time in the snow. The Cochin girls, gave me stink eye when they had to walk through it to get to a melted patch.
Chiquita mid zoomie in the snow, she ran around like crazy for a few minutes.

Branch who is not as much of a fan of the snow as the girls are eventually managed to lure them out into the sun.

Meanwhile, the big babies are still unimpressed with the white stuff.

Once they hit bare ground they did not leave.

I have been vandalized! Last night someone or several, got into my yard and punctured my tires on the bird mobile (Lexus) why would anyone chance breaking into my yard? It’s gonna be costly to replace two tires. A sheriff report is filed, and I will talk to the insurance agent on Monday. Breakins and vandalism is increasing in this area. (The deputy warned me) I even padlocked the coop last night.

And Jaffar is having a bad day today. He’s being mean.

This is terrible!
I’m glad you and the chooks are ok, good idea to lock the coop by the sounds of it

WHAT is this? Rocks-Anne was just now attempting to lay an egg. This was the result. She’s an older lady though. It does have a full hard shell. But kinda small!

Should I be Concerned?
