January Chickens


They seem to be going down the ramp willingly, don't they?
Somehow chickens and snow don't seem to go well together to me. I'm pretty sure the chickens agree. Fond here.

Our chickens certainly don't seem to like the snow. On warm enough days we open the door to the outside for them but they take one look and say, "No thank you." They're quite happy to spend their days in the "solarium" attached to their chicken house!

I adore chickens and would love to have a flock, however a friend, who has about 20, told me their coops can attract rats, and I don't want to deal with rats.

It's been a while since I have visited your blog, Rosemary, so I'm having fun catching up.

We had chickens when I was a young girl and ours didn't like the snow at all. The ones in the picture look like Rhode Island Reds and they are a good choice for colder climates.

Mama Pea -- Your chickens are smart and so lucky to have a solarium attached to their house so they can get some sun on a snowy day. xo, Rosemary

Lisa D. I have a friend with chickens and she had her hen house put on a cement pad recently to keep out the critters. I would not like the rodent problem either. xo, Rosemary

Pam -- Maybe Rhode Island Reds are a hardy breed. Anyway, this is a great photo of chickens in the snow. xo, Rosemary
