Chirping
They are confined to the run which is covered by 14mil clear plastic tarps. The only air coming in is through the top 7" gap that goes around the run for ventilation. I can stand in the coop and run and feel no air blowing in at all. Their coop has four 6x10 windows on opposite wall of their roost bars and the walk in door is open to the run along with their chicken door to allow more ventilation.No snow expected, humidity has dropped to 62%, it’s -16C and mix of sun and cloud now.
He and Mother Nature need to get with the program! Or go away!
Wind and excessive cold will cause frost bite, moisture is but one part of frost bite, and the one everybody blames on frost bite. If it is colder than -4C and your chooks are out and about expect frost bite. You wouldn’t go outside without your ears and nose covered when it’s cold would you?
Close up your coop.
NO! Please do not touch or rub anything into frost bitten flesh. First (trust me on this) it’s extremely painful, and second Vaseline traps moisture against the skin causing more freezing.
Vaseline doesn’t prevent or cure frost bite. Cover up and keep out of the wind. Yes stay dry, but more important, stay warm and out of the wind. If it’s too cold for you to be wandering around in your drawers outside then it’s too cold for your chooks! Don’t want to freeze off anything too important
Fairly normal, though by tomorrow morning it should be really low, it’s supposed to be -27C when I get up so it will be dry, the snow will be very scrunchy!
Because I am between all these great lakes it acts like a maritime climate here, when we get high humidity and very cold temps everything gets coated in hoare frost - it’s beautiful.
Run for the hills!
All of our chickens were sold to us as cold hardy but most have tall combs so maybe that's just why?
I have read about Vaseline and I do not see how that could possibly help. It seems to be mixed recommended/not recommended. I prefer to just leave them as they are.
We do love our summer evening storms. 
: 5:25pm, 76°F, dew point 60°F, humidity 59%, wind SE @ 14mph, cloudy. 
On & off wet snow / rain that's kind of halfway to being hail.
