I don't blame them. I bet they wish the could fly south

You know it’s winter when your chickens are all huddled under the coop and the rooster is in the crate in the coop with three heat lamps on (and it’s still not going above 40F!! ) because he has a big comb and gets frostbite.
I hate winter.

U know it is WINTER when your CHICKENS "AND" ____ are..

When it takes only 5 minutes to feed your Chickens.
But it takes 15 mins to put on layer after layer of clothing and coat/gloves before you feed

Oh, goodness, this is too true! I was just lamenting this the other day as I prepared to go out for the nightly coop closing...

Better yet, you know it's winter when your chickens are afraid of you because you're so wrapped up in winter gear that they don't recognize you. At this point, mine are mostly used to the winter boots, coveralls, and hat again from last winter, but I got a new set of black gloves a couple days ago and apparently they are the scariest black gloves to ever exist. Maybe it's because my usual color is red?

My poor ducks go tumbling and quacking to the other side of the coop when I open the door now. My chickens are too cold to care.

Haha! See, I'm having the opposite here. My girls aren't fleeing from me anymore, but they sure give me a wide berth (unless there's snow on my boots, because that's a delicacy to them, I guess?). Meanwhile, the ducks come waddling right up to me every morning to demand service! Where is their swimming pool? They don't care that it's -4 and they're snowed in, they want their swimming water!

You need to Implement a secret password knock before you open the door!

They probably think the Michelin Man is hungry for duck dinner.
