I know our girls (2 Brahmas & 2 Orpingtons, 23 weeks) are cold hardy, and they seem to have handled our frosty days well so far. Today we were unexpectedly hit with that Nor'Easter (it wasn't supposed to be as serious this far east on the Island, but we got a lot of snow.)
When I went out the coop toward the end of the day to check on the girls, I noticed they were all wet. Why didn't they go in the coop when not feeding? Why did those crazy girls stay out there? Will they be okay and dry out on their own? (They're snuggled in the coop for the evening.) Or am I just a paranoid new chicken mommy?
I appreciate your thoughts...
