Hard to admit but this is the first time I've seen chicken in a snow weather, never occurred to me before. So, they took a video of them coming down from their coop. The chickens were very confused until some one fell down. Unfortunately, the first chicken didn't feel it right and told the rest of them to go back, which they did. Took some one to shovel out the snow for them to go down again. Well, they don't have snow boots that's for sure it's definitely cold feet on them.

I have not thought about how chickens react on a snow filled area. There are lots of chicken here but there is no snow.

A friend of mine had chickens years ago that when out on her porch in the cold the feet froze and the toes fell off. She keeps them in a heated hen house now.
