But I can’t blame the girls, it was freezing cold and windy. I had to change their water 5 times because it kept on freezing.

5 times?! That’s cold!

My hopes for poultry is to have birds who are the closest to the SOP as I can possibly get them. Several breeds, so many varieties. My ultimate goal is to breed a bird who can win a whole APA/ABA show.

To do that you should invest in the best stock you can find and afford.

Yup brutal, but everyone was out in the run. Even Jane and Charlotte who I worry about the most in cold weather were out and the whole flock was huddling together to keep each other warm.

I surrender. I locked my girls in today. No more outside time until the snow starts to melt AND the stupid predators find something else to eat or STARVE.

I had 23 chickens at the start of 2018. Now I have 16.

Awww have you considered putting a heat-lamp out there? Or do they already have one?

No heat lamp. I don’t believe in using supplemental lighting or heating on my birds.
God made them so they will be fine.

I rly want to cull all but my old hen and disabled hen, and start ALL OVER with blue egg layers and Marans. I need a new egg basket. And the people want colored eggs faster than I can supply.

Eggs in general, actually. I now have another person who refuses to eat store bought eggs
