we got a bit of snow here too; I have two Roos who’re sharing an up/down duplex inside an old raised-beds garden. The coop and run are screwed securely down to a solid wooden deck, but the garden has just deer fencing and no top netting except over a dog kennel to make a safe space for the newer Roo.. our birds are Orpington and Astralorp, hopefully too big to be prey for the hawks in our neighborhood.
The chair is a favorite perch for my Orp in other weather, and the weed hanging over the line swings in a breeze and gives him something interesting to investigate. Once he comes down into the yard again I will put gobs of peanut butter or suet with seeds mixed in on the ends of the branches.
The tripod holds a cabbage-on-a-rope, but nobody’s interested in it yet.
I’ve just this evening learned that I can put shavings or hay on top of the snow to encourage them to come out. Looking forward to the morning!
Yes, it was only from the one big snow that came through; thank goodness for YakTrax on my boots! (And ObOy am I glad I got a sturdy coop kit!)Ooh thats a lot of snow!
