Some of my birds love the snow..the Orpingtons are a bunch of big weather weenies. They do not like snow on there feet at all. I have to put straw down for them to walk on..

They do like me shoveling down to the frozen grass for them since there delicate feet will not touch the cold earth.

We had record lows this year. One day was -58..I was very afraid....I do not remember ever having to deal with this cold before. I was even thinking about heating coops ,,but I know the birds are strong and healthy. I did not loose one bird to the cold. I am so happy about that..to know I am building on top of some vigorous healthy birds...Thank you again..for the privilege of owning these fine birds..

70 degrees here today with 25 mph winds . Forecast is for a high of 36 on Wed. with 30 mph winds. Just finished clear tarping all the covered runs today, to cut the wind. Turned the runs into almost greenhouses.Great stuff. ..Nylon reinforced CLEAR tarps from TARPSTOGO on eBay.Super heavy, durable stuff, that lets the sun in. I have some that are 2 years old, and they are pristine.

What a great idea! I spent a lot of time today tarping the sides of the runs as best I could to keep the snow out so they'll be as dry as possible when the temperature drops.... Brrrrr!
