A frozen rain forest greeting to all. I would wave hello but am holding hot coffee mug in both hands.
Jumped out of bed and got dressed warm to run some water out to the chickens.
Their bucket inside the coop was frozen solid, but my BIL had already been out to take care of the horses and had brought the girls some water from the barn. He had poured it into their outdoor rubber water dish and when I showed up with more water 3 of the girls were standing in the water dish up to their knees. STUPID CHICKENS. Actually I guess the water felt warmer than the air.
It was -17 celsius here with the wind chill factor. We are totally not used to cold here, but the blue skies and white lawn are pretty (from indoors).NEED MORE COFFEE NOW.

That is an alarming thought. They will get out before they become chicken pops, right?

Warm water freezes faster than cold water. Likely makes no difference where you are....

I hope so ... hmmm ... why buy frozen chicken drumsticks when you can get 'em fresh from the coop.
Actually, they all decided to go free range today, on a dead run for the sunny spots. Two days cooped up is too much for those wild girls.

It doesn't take them long to figure out where the sunny sheltered spots are located.

Those chickens have every bit of these 3+ acres logged into their internal GPS (good poultry spots).
Up against the south wall of BIL's log house is a favorite. Even a bit of green grass for grazing there.

Just like a dog or cat knows the sunny spots, and when the sun will be there.
