Wow, thanks guys! Keep 'em coming! (Oh, I so have chicken envy over here...)

 

[NeeleysAVLChicks]

Abominable snow chicken!

ETA: This is Lucy, my 1 yr old RIRxBO mutt. I couldn't keep my chickens out of the snow if I tried, my girls love it!

 

[ParkfieldFarm]

Thanks again, all! We're going to be putting up an informational page on the site about hen growth and a how-to care page, and I'm sure some of the pics will go up there, as well.

The white is a pullet and the cuckoo maran is a cockrel...

My silkies were definitely "early to bed" on miserable winter days but could always be enticed back out for a treat.

And in case waterfowl are ever under consideration, many ducks are extremely cold hardy. Many refuse to take shelter on any but the most brutal nights. My Pekins had a cozy duckhouse available in their well protected pen, but would only retreat to it if temps were below at least 30degrees WITH sustained winds over 25 mph.
