Winter Quarters

In the cold spell this week, the Red Door Coop chickens have been privileged to sleep in the garage every night.  They are hand delivered to this cozy spot each evening and returned to Red Door Coop in the morning where they spend the day.  This arrangement works for all of us.  The humans get a better night of sleep because they are less worried about freezing chickens.  The chickens, while not in warm temperatures by any means, are in slightly warmer temperatures than they would be in the coop where is it dipping below zero, even with all the insulation we've added.

Here they are on this Wednesday morning before heading out to the coop.
The following photo is a little blurry, but you can see Fitz's egg.  No matter how early we get out to the birds, she always has an egg waiting for us!
