Sounds much like mine....and it's been likened to the clown car with more clowns inside than is even somewhat reasonable...all popping out...

You should put the first part of the video in a loop (short).
Would be marvellous to see an endless stream of chickens jumping through the pop door.

No idea how to edit. Had a challenge just figuring out how to get the frame I wanted from the still pic the phone camera took as a motion pic....like a year....

12°C (54F) but "feels like" 0°C (32F) here yesterday. Orkney lol.

How cold does winter usually get where you are? Is it more wet or dry cold?

I'm going to blow the whole winter discussion up now.

How cold? -40⁰. That's NEGATIVE 40 on either scale.

Wet or dry? Mostly dry, but at those temps, wind chill is a worse problem.

The chickens might disagree but I'd honestly like to experience that.

Closest I think I've come - which isn't very close, I know - is a few years ago when we got snowed in for five days (snow is unusual here despite the latitude) and I walked the two miles to the shop with my eyes closed most of the way because it was snowing heavily at 40-50mph. That was great.

can I ask why?

I like the cold, so long as I'm prepared for it, and I find the wind invigorating. I'd like to know what those temperatures feel like and what it's like to live in those conditions.
