Happy Hens In Winter
Tags: Birds
Now that the temperature has plummeted well below freezing, the chicken's water freezes night & day. This means that by the time fresh water comes out to them, they are very happy to have it. To warm the hens and to slow the freezing, the water is brought out to them quite warm and they really like that, they all come running for a hot drink as fast as their chicken feet will take them. You know they are happy by the sounds they make, they chirp a low trill, much like the purr of a contented cat.
