That was the conclusion I came to last week when it was snowing so hard you couldn't see across the yard. All of my birds had access to snow dry feed and other than thicker green poo the following day, I didn't notice any negative consequences due to them missing a day without liquid water.

P&B our bantams in teh A-frames didn't freeze till 3 days of below freezing weather, the big birds made it through the entire time on snow with absolutely no issues and still laying, no losses and no sickies either. just access to scratch and thier regular feed they are all good.

you just have to find what works for you... I do the cooking, most of the cleaning she deals with the kids and laundry. I like the arrangement, I get to eat what I want when I want how i want it made.. everyone can complain but until they start doing it themselves its my way.

Al I made a big pot of "HOT" chili for a dinner at church Sunday.
I ate a bowl then and another the next day.
I still haven't recovered.

I had on my Kiss the Cook Apron. So that cancels out man card damage.

I just read the thread the Robin posted about earlier, regarding the duck that was picked up by a hawk and carried 12 miles, only to reappear at her in-law's home. It is definately a heartwarming story https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=449579
