I'm new here, and we have different chickens, but I would like to have some jersey giants

Clarity, thank you for the pictures! In the last picture, is that a blue cochin rooster? It is beautiful!

He is! He’s one of 5, and they are getting handsome. I have to say I’ve enjoyed watching them develop. The roosterliness is really interesting.

Anybody hate this snow we have? Thought maybe I had moved far enough South....guess not! But the last time it snowed, was Jan 85' and was 13"

 

[TexasLisa]

We have SNOW! I have been up since 3 AM watching it. We got a little over an inch. I LOVE IT!

I couldn't go back to sleep, so I made applesauce muffins for my husband to take to work.

He made it to work safely. He said one guy in front of him spun out, but was able to right his vehicle and continue going.

The last snow we had here was in 2009 and it was a light dusting then. In 1895 this area got 20 inches!!

Here is a picture before Ken left for work:

Here's a few pics of my pens, just took the pics standing on my back porch. Not much inside the pens.

Hey Tx! How yall liking this cold snap?What's your current temp? If this is your 1st year with chickens have you needed to make winter adjustments?

I stuffed my pallet coop full of hay and put up a tarp on the coldest side.

 

[007Sean]

Cold? I don't like cold....Im like a lizard, the warmer it is the better. I have family still up in your area, North of Dallas. This white stuff is the reason I moved to South Texas, to get away from it, it's only 31 here in Seguin but that's too cold for me.
