[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 312609, member: 179"] Shoot...our chickens used to root around in below zero weather, then hop on a fence post to sit then get iced all over. Dummies had a coop but would only use it at night. Even then we'd have to shoo them in. They're tougher than you think. Their plummage is very well designed to keep moisture off their body...unless you have a plucker. That's a problem. I know I mentioned once before about how to put a chicken to sleep then play ball with them. When it was time to get them into their coop, some were resistant. One of us would catch him in the field, put him to sleep then toss it to the other sibling who would toss him in the coop. It was like a production line. Strange things you do when you grow up on a ranch. We were all rather dizzy after this process, though. Chickens slept just fine. Abbey [/QUOTE]
