So lately we have been having more frost on the ground, today being the most so far. Its fair to say the girls are not keen on this cold white stuff - god help them when we have snow!
I have been giving them porridge on the mornings when its cold which is helping entice them out. Egg production is down a tad - only 3 yesterday. Mind you, a lot of peoples hens have stopped for the winter so we are lucky to get any!
Also been giving the girls more mixed corn to help keep them warm (its a high energy food so helps in this weather) and also tried them on a melon i wasnt going to eat in time - they loved that, seeds and all!
Other than that, not much is going on here. Waiting on snow to see how they react. They seem to still enjoy mud baths - even when the mud is wet, so now our two white chickens are not very white at all!
