I would find myself a good representative and plead irreconcilable weather conditions to the aggrieved parties (i.e., the chickens). Perhaps they would settle for a greenhouse enclosure in the interim... .-= Carolyn´s last blog ..The waiting is the hardest part =-.

Our chickens have had to scratch in the snow for the last couple of weeks. They are demanding warm boots too!

This is hilarious, and I’ve been imagining that tortoise has been thinking much the same thing. “Please, sir, might I go outside in the sun? It’s cold in here.” Sorry, son, there is no sun. Better luck in a couple of months or so…

Oh Robin,

Don’t egg them on.

Get them a sun lamp, play some Hawaiian music for them, and get them a treadmill for their afternoon “walkabout.”

Robin, don’t chicken out, stick to your beliefs.

Sometimes I feel like my 3 pullets are giving me the evil eye for not letting them out of the run as much after The Raccoon Incident, but I might be projecting. Chickens are not well known for their facial expressiveness.

I adore your blog, and I have to ask you, how do you manage so many free ranging chickens and still maintain such a beautiful garden? 2 hens absolutely decimated my yard and trampled through my laughably meager vegetable patch. I notice even in your chicken garden there remains vegetation… what voodoo is this?

There’s nothing worse than a bunch of unhappy chickens. They will probably all go on ‘egg strike’ with immediate effect.

Hilarious! I especially love the postscript. I’d like to protest against winter sometimes, too But I don’t have the SPCA to get the weather gods to cooperate.

Wow. Sensitive birds. You’ve seriously ticked them off. They do know they are edible, right?
