Aster continues to enjoy the yard alone. Yesterday we had what i call a "False Thaw". A false thaw occurs when after weeks of freezing temperatures you get a day or two of temps in the low 40s. Maybe even s little rain. It thaws out the top 1/2 inch of soil. It's dangerous in that the thawed layer of soil will slide free and dump you on your butt if you are not careful.
Well we had a false thaw yesterday and Aster took advantage of it to destroy sections of the yard. My gosh the mud on her feet. She dug up everywhere except where the grass was and even dug some of that up. She was at the backdoor knocking for treats. (And got many) In general she explored the entire yard, mostly alone. When she was near the coop complex the others would come out with her but otherwise she was alone.
Here she is wandering alone.

Today the thaw continued. I was out moving the heating panel from the Cluckle Hut where no one sleeps to the main coop. We are looking at a big snow storm tomorrow and then single digit temps next week. I will be locking everyone in the main coop until the extreme cold passes and I thought they might like the second panel.
Here she is checking out what I was doing in the Cluckle Hut nest box.
