Update on our 10 Chickens



Some people ask us how the chickens are doing. Well...they are fine. They found their winter spot behind our garage in a fenced in area. They don't like to walk on the snow, so my husband throws them some old hay now and then to come out of their coop a bit. They still lay about 4-5 eggs per day.
Notice the icicles at their coop roof line!
Wir werden oefter gefragt, was unsere Huehner machen. Es geht ihnen gut. Sie sind in ihrem Winterquartier hinter unserer Garage. Sie gehen nicht gerne raus in den Schnee u deshalb verteilt mein Mann ab u zu altes Heu u dann kommen sie mal ein wenig aus ihrem Stall. Sie legen noch immer 4-5 Eier am Tag. Seht ihr die Eiszapfen an der Dachrinne?

I do not know why, but as soon as I saw the photographs with the chickens I laughed.
Perhaps I observed their embarrassment, or because they look at they find that is the earth.
Personally these photographs I like.

Your chickens are getting big! I wouldn't want to walk on the snow either if I was a chicken. Thanks for the update!!

Schade,das man keine Eier verschicken kann,würde gerne welche Dir abkaufen.
Meiner Schwiegermutter ihre Hühner legen immer noch keine Eier,sind noch in der Mauser.So muss ich als die aus dem Laden kaufen:-(
Schön zu sehen das Eure Hühner trotz dem Schnee mal an die frische Luft gehen,dank des Heues den Garry für sie auslegte.
Hier sind es heute Morgen Minus 6 Grad,alle Dächer weiss aber kein Schnee.

Well, your chickens must be happy to be laying that many eggs still.
