First Snow

We got the first snow of the year! It started snowing last night, but when I woke up this morning we only had about three inches. Dang. Anyway, this was our chickens' first time seeing snow, and they were so nervous about it that they stayed in their coop for hours before getting enough courage up to step out the door. (an extremely unusual occurrence - they're usually up with the sun and itching to get out) 

They sat in the door like this for forever

As soon as one worked up enough courage to step outside, another decided to follow. 

Jump!!

Bigfoot, the most dominant of the four, took the longest to emerge.

I opened up the side door to take their food out, and Bigfoot promptly marched over to see if it was safer on the side.

Once Bigfoot finally made it out the door, the other one came down with no problem. Bigfoot, however stood on the ramp for a good few minutes before stepping onto the ground.

Sorry if I bored you, but it was too good to resist posting :D
