Transitioning from roofed to roofless run

THANK YOU for waiting until after Tday!

I'm in the "wait till December" camp, but I've been faced with a lot of pressure this year (both on BYC and at home ) because of this rooster, so I'm making an exception and doing it while it's technically still November (the 1st is on a work day and I won't be able to do it then). But it HAS to be after Thanksgiving!

Well, I don't countenance with dressing up live animals no matter the time of year.
Poor Bird.

But... IP can’t have a Thanksgiving Chicken if they wait! I’m all for waiting until after Thanksgiving for CHRISTMAS decorations. I do that myself. But that glorious rooster really should be celebrated all year.

Good Point!

You know nothing about us or our flock. You don't know circumstances or frankly, what you are talking about. They are ALL very loved, taken care of and very HAPPY. So sorry you feel the need to be so judgemental. This doesn't affect or concern you. I do not judge you or anyone else, and I certainly would not be so RUDE.

JMHO. That's allowed on a public forum
Carry On.

A more to-the-point update: it rained all day yesterday, and I mean real hard rain, not the drizzle that sent the chickens inside sulking before. It seems that they have figured out where the dry areas are, and they remained outside all day! So, we have a lot of progress. I'm feeling hopeful for the winter.

Good to read that they are adjusting.

Meanwhile I'm doing an emergency winter hatch, if anybody wants to check it out and follow along - it's over here:

Oh how I wish I could see the look on my neighbor's face if he found out there would be MORE chickens coming, and sooner than we thought, too!
