What is this chicken thinking?

1000

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
 
Who needs a STONECARVER? We are frozen stiff...turn the heat on Daddy...PLEASE!
Oi! Papa... we will turn to stone if it does not get warmer here...!
Goldie: Somebody put a log on the fire!
Mossy: Put another on for me!
Tessa: Help! I've laid my egg and it froze on my bustle!
We're not baby chicks but a heat lamp would feel REALLY GOOD right about now.
If we could only fly south for the winter. (sigh)

They're actually OK with the cold. Remember, they are wearing down jackets. However, when it gets below 5° F (-15 C) it gets really hard for us humans to take care of them. Gotta bundle up and go out 3 or 4 times a day just to make sure their water isn't frozen, their poop freezes to the ground and the perches and is hard to clean up, etc... So, I just built a simple aviary in the studio, when it gets that cold again I'll bring them in for a few days, make my life easier. Added bonus, they can watch me work and critique what I'm doing.

It's four separate 8' x 8' panels, bolted together with wing nuts. So, end of the season, I just have to pull 8 wing nuts and the four panels will store flat against the wall, taking up very little space. Took about 8 hours and $100 in materials.
