They're Not Snow Chickens

I've been out to check on the chickens a few times today and they've let me know that they are NOT snow chickens.  They haven't set foot in the snow and don't seem to care to.  They are enjoying the covered portion of their run and spending more time in their coop.   


I took some treats out to them and they were very appreciative.  My roosters were very talkative. You can hear the new roosters (Nicholas and Chief Crazy Feather) crowing from inside the coop. 
The plastic is working perfectly and the sleet that has been coming down at an impressive clip has stayed outside of the plastic.  The sleet hitting the metal roof creates a racket though.
See? Nice and dry, wind-protected run.  It still may be cold outside but they don't seem to mind that part.

As long as they don't have to go out into the snow and there are occasional treat visits, they don't mind this weather.
