Its 22 degrees here but with the wind chills its 13 degrees. lol Half my flock is outside and the other half is inside.

I was going to clean out the coop today... I will need an electric prodder... Bowl of fruit... And a second pair of wrangling hands. That's where the 6 year old comes in. Hoping I can distract them long enough to get it done.

This is our approach too. Our chickens have not gone outside in at least a week. I open the coop up but they just stay inside.

I just have to say my first name is SALLY also, not many of us !!!

My LF come out every day, but I've just kept the bantams in they don't like the snow

I had originally put quite a bit of straw down. Like over a foot deep. Those fuzzybutts wouldn't move worth anything. So I pitch forked the top half out trying not to spike any of them. And we're talking a 4 x4 coop and 6 BO. It has a second story to it, but they aren't full grown yet, and refuse to learn how to climb the ladder. Come spring it'll be shavings or sand for me!

I have sand in all our breeding pens and game bird pens and shavings in the rest but come spring it will all be sand love it

 

[Crafty chick]

Well, my floor is cement, and I didn't know how cold sand would get on their feet during the winter. Also, I will work on a nest box in the early spring... Unless I find an egg in a corner before then!

Oh, thank you sallyinindiana. Now I don't feel so bad not letting mine out either.
