Crowing
Do I need to worry about my girls? They are 8 weeks old, one is a slow grower and isn’t fully feathered out. Last weekend it was over 80 and sunny, it’s when we moved them to their outdoor coop. Today I wake up to snow and high winds! Welcome to Montana, I guess.
Yesterday I added more bedding for them to snuggle down in since they don’t roost (I think our coop is tilted from uneven ground). When I was in the coop I felt a draft coming through the door. We built it ourselves so it’s not perfect. I shoved some burlap in the door seam where I felt a draft. That is the extent on my “winterization”.
Unfortunately we moved them to their coop before the coop was 100% finished because my hubby was tired of them in the garage and justified the move with saying “winter is over! It’s hot outside!”
