Hey Mom! Will it ever stop snowing?!

Poor chickens haven't been out of their henhouse for a week due to the chilling, gusty wind and incessant snow flurries.
I've opened up their mesh window for a little bit each day, just for some fresh air, but the chickens seem much happier when it's closed.

Each time I pop into feed and water them, they seem to say, "Hey Mom! Will it ever stop snowing?" "We just want to take dustbaths, peck around for bugs, flap our wings and sit on your lap" Poor chickens!

Our girls, (From left) barred rock(Betty), ameracauana(Angelina Ballerina), Speckled Sussex(Spotty Dotty), Rhode Island Red(Rita), ameracauna(Ariel). (In back, from left), Speckled Sussex(Kipper), Silver-Laced Wyandotte(Suzy), barred rock(Beaulah~she is the one who was sick, couldn't walk.). And the chicken in the back is one of our nameless brown leg-horns. This is the only chicken we have with such a large, bright comb and wattles. The saddle feathers aren't long and we haven't heard any crowing yet, so we don't know if it's a rooster or just a hen with testosterone. hehe.

It's too cold out there!
While opening the nestbox wooden weather-flap, the flap fell off. The guys doing our barn addition offered to fix it, but placed the flap/door too low, which allowed an opening at the top for snow and rain to blow into. So they placed some flashing on the top, which is working pretty well.
