As far as the chickens go, you just need a small child to pick them up, carry them out, and plop them into the snow. Don't ask me how I know :))) I really enjoyed all your photos. You said the landscape looks the same but I see quite the difference in the snow level around your cabin!

That is true! Sometimes it takes new eyes to remind me of this - thank you! We recently had a full day of rain and that did a wonderful job of shrinking down the snow. oh my, I can just hear the chickens protesting now. That is so funny. It's so wonderful that your kids are being raised in such a great environment.
The funny part is that the last time it happened I was busy rinsing the chickens' waterer and didn't notice till Pixie proudly said "Look Mommy, I brought Elsa out!" and there was Elsa just standing stock still in snow that buried her legs, looking as much like she was saying "Uhhhhhh....seriously!?" as a chicken could look. I think Elsa has learned the futility of squawking or resisting and just rolls with whatever the kids dish out. The golden wyandottes are the kid-wary squawking runners of the flock :)
Now the time there was a quite a bit of snow on the ground and the kids chased all the chickens out of the clear patch into it...yep, a lot of complaining was involved!!
that is so funny and the mean part of my mind thinks that chickens deserve a bit of kid attention/torment for all the bitchiness they unleash on each other (lol).
