We had to put blankets on the chicken's pens to keep them warm. They're not used to it yet.
Here's some of the pictures.

Bundled up.

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :

You look cold..so do your poor chooks!! Brrr

We are! My grandma is making them hen saddles. They're shivering so much because they're molting. I don't get why they do it THIS time of year...

And also....
I've learned that purebreds aren't as hardy as mixed breeds. I don't know why. Pop is a Del-urken. (Deleware-Turken) That's why she wasn't shivering with the purebred turkens. I'm glad that we have some mutts. lol.
