Filled the coop up with lots of fresh hay....
and made sure no drafts could find their way in overnight.
Poor Charlie did get some frostbite on his crown. Laverne & Shirley are fine, though.
Because it's going to be so cold, I gave them extra treats to nibble on. Their treat ball was filled with cabbage and some bird suet with seeds. Plus they had some cantaloupe - you can see what's left on the ground:
This kept all of them busy for quite a while!
That toy was a good investment. It keeps them from getting too bored. If you have or know someone that has chickens, let them know about it. It did take them a while to get to like it, though!
Poor Charlie :))
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem to bother him, Mamahen. The dead part will fall off eventually.
