On a positive note, I did just bring home 4 naked necks, 4 cuckoo marans, and 3 blue cochins. Will be getting more next week! I'll post picks soon.

On a different topic, are there any other western Pa people on this thread?

I'm in the east edge of Ohio, so closer than over half the PA people.

The only thing I did was shut the door to the coop tonight. They have a nice thick layer of bedding so they should be ok. Will do the same tomorrow when the wind chill is supposed to be -41*!!
 
Well:

Getting some more snow, but the winds haven't started yet....kinda unusual, but the majority of the birds have moved from coop#1 to coop #2...a number of birds have swapped back and forth a couple of times including the roos...I haven't closed either coop or either run...I think if its bad, they will stay put or find a sheltered spot...I will be checking every couple of hours tomorrow....gonna be a tough day or two....hope the electric stays on.......
 
I'm going to ask a dumb question here.....if the wind chill is -whatever, & the run is pretty snug & not too drafty, does it still feel like the -windchill? I'd love to let the girls in the run tomorrow cause they'll not be real nice to each other if they have to stay in the coop. Right now I unset the electric door opener & I'll go out around 7:30 and assess the situation before I even think about letting them in the run. I know I'm probably obsessing a bit here but I don't want the girlies to be hurt if I do something wrong.
 
I have mine on tonight too, I did last night as well but I normally don't do the light thing any more. I did the first year we had them but I only had 2 then & I worried they couldn't keep each other warm enough, now I have 8 & they all huddle together on the roost & that makes me feel better...lol
