Hello everyone ! Glad to hear your chickens made it through the cold. I believe frostbites, though painful, isn't a major problem for the chicken. Please be kind with yourselves, take into account that most of you have had temperatures falling so suddenly it's unlikely to happen ever again in your chicken life time!
@knoturavggrl not the subject, but Oreo is gorgeous in those close ups.
I'm also glad
@RebeccaBoyd is slowly getting back into jeans and that Mama hen is still with us, and that
@RoyalChick can shower again.
I've encountered a hawk attack on my hen Blanche a few days ago, but I was close by and able to scare it away quickly, so she had only superficial pecks on the eyes and ears. She's healing up slowly. And you may remember I was worrying about little Merle's health-, it wasn't at all mites like I expected, she turned broody on me

. I know this is very usual for most of you but having ex-batts I never encountered it before. She's only six months and a half, laying for less than a month, we don't leave her eggs and it's winter. It seems she'll come out of it just by bringing back to the coop at night luckily!
I hope you all have a nice day and more pleasant temperatures.
