I’m just jealous someone can wear shorts, while I need a full insulated snowsuit!

You'll get your turn again.

A Split Coop Again Tonight

4 in the Main, Betty is there, and 3 in the Cluckle Hut. Aurora is still on Daisy's roost.

It is currently a balmy 18°F (-7.7 °C).

What might be the odds, if everyone on BYC was to pitch in a $1.00 and we buy several lottery picks. Any chance of winning? California lottery, Minnesota lottery, any other state that has a lottery? What say you bgmathteach?

Chances of winning, though very low, is still better if you play than if you don't. That said, I'd rather put my $1 into my retirement account. Safer and a better bet.

They have free choice which coop they roost in. They all sandwich together. In my 'green coop', with 2 roosts (4' each) There will be 7 or 8 on one roost, 3 or 4 on the other. At least they have snuggle buddies in this cold!

And, @RoyalChick Notice the alternating? And those 3 in the front are best buddies. In my mobile coop (5' wide), I've had 10 chickens smooshed on 1 roost, and the rest on the second, with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th completely empty...nd they roughly alternate there, too. Sometimes 2 in a row the same way. ...... they do seem to fit tighter that way. also, my little buggers that roost on TOP of the dog pen and have to be put away....they also roughly alternate. I grab the ones facing away first (easier to have them step up onto my arm). By the time I come back - just a minute or two - a couple others have turned around so there are still some facing each way. I truly suspect it is for protection - see from both sides...though it is just supposition on my end.

I'm glad they each have a safe place to roost at night. That said, one would think they would want roosting buddy in the cold. Looks like Lady F & Glynda are snuggling, and Betty & Hattie in the nest boxes should be reasonably cozy, but the rest??????? What the heck - it is F.R.I.G.I.D. out. Get over yourselves already!!!

P.S. I love how you can see their reflections in the window in the cluckle hut!
