Help chickens at window in cold

[Mrichard0930]

Hey my friends chickens are smushing against window she put them in garage but they ran out and back to window. It’s snowing so I told her they’re probably cold but they felt warm picking up. Any ideas what’s going on here? Thanks

It's obvious. They want in where it's warm, and of course they also expect to be invited to dinner. Chickens learn quickly which side of the glass is where the good stuff is.

Do they not have a sheltered run?

How old are they if they are under 8 weeks then they need it to stay over 60 degrees F.

Naaahhh......they just need a place to get out of the wind and snow.

I can see what you mean if they are 10 weeks or older, but in the winter you need to be very vigilant of the temp b/c a breeze in forty degree temp and your little bird is done for.

just how I raise my birds

I'm in the middle of building a run for my flock. Until it's completed though, their favorite place to huddle when it rains or snows is my backdoor. Right on the threshold. So. Much. Poop. Often when I open the door to go inside, they try to follow. Chickens may not be as smart as a dog, but they aren't dumb either.

Good thing you wrote invited TO dinner & not invited FOR dinner.
