I want to make a polish chat thread like this one (if there isn't one already).
Title suggestions?

I would make a d'uccle one and a cochin one too, but (thank you Silkie Princess and Pippin!) somebody already has 😅
@PippinTheChicken has a polish thread going... let me find it...
 
Welcome to the thread @MapleValleyAcresFarm, it is a very active one! 😊
I can't speak to extreme cold and snow, though this is the view from my house last winter!View attachment 2834094

We only get down to the 50s here at night during the winter (I live at higher elevation).
From what I understand, silkies can tolerate colder temps, but can not tolerate getting drenching wet or in drafts as @PippinTheChicken stated above.
We do get quite a bit of rain here and wind, so I keep my birds in covered runs and draft free coops. 😊
Okay! Thank you VERY much as well!
 
Mine have no problem with our temps here that go down to -2 degrees Celsius, frost and rarely snow but they still came out in the snow and always come out when I open the coop in the frosty freezing mornings.
They just need good ventilation and draft free coop, they have warm coats on so they are fine 😄
Thank you!
