I've thought about making my chickens and ducks botties for there feet like dog boots anyone have suggestions or luck with this? I'm in Canada and it gets so cold I feel awful for there feet :(
 
Your birds' feet are much more comfortable in the cold than you would think. Read this and you will be reassured. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/how-do-gulls-deal-with-cold-feet/

They do have booties for ducks, but they're for injured feet. Bird feet are specialized tools and if we encase them in booties, they would not be able to function well. Don't worry, poultry feet know how to cope with cold just fine. The only exception is if the feet become wet and then freeze.
 
They don't need it but if your worried get a chicken breed with feathery feet to start with, nature will always be better.
