Our chickens are wussies


Its been snowing off and on for a week now, 6 in. due by tomorrow AM,
so there is about 2-3 in. of snow on the ground.

Our 2 hens and rooster refuse to come out of their house, they will stick their heads out to look around but go right back to their roost.

On the other hand the pigeons were out side today busy as little bees, finding sticks and grass for their nest or just stretching their wings flying around the flight.
No wonder pigeons can survive in harsh conditions.
This is a photo of the hen enclosure and one of the lofts.

Well, if you ask ME....(and you didn't but, ), I think they're pretty darn smart. If I could get away with it, I'd stick my head out the door and go back in too. Hate that white stuff.

Robin, I don't blame them a bit. If I saw that, I'd turn around too! I like to look at it but not be out in it. Pretty sight though.

Looks like a little winter wonderland. We're supposed to be getting some Sunday. My nutty pigeons don't even like to go out in the good weather. Rather just hang around the loft all day. Sometimes, I actually have to catch them and make them go out and get some excercise and sun. I have three very large windows in the loft, so they probably think they ARE outside. LOL. They'll freak when they see the snow! I think your chickens are smart!

I'm going to have to side with the chickens. I don't even need snow if it's that cold I'm not going out unless I have to.
Maybe there waiting for someone to clear the snow away.

I wouldn't be at all surprised, KIPPY! Who says chickens aren't smart?!!

Actually, the human will be the one to clear the snow away! Does that tell you anything??
