Have had snow on and off all afternoon in Solihull. I ouldn't believe the size of some of the flakes - they were huge. It has settled and the roads are all slushy.

Stray trust you

If freezing the wattles and combs (the red bits that dangle and red bit on top of head) need a coating of vaseline to stop them freezing.

Chickesn use these bits of there body same as dogs and tongues - they keep their body temperature regulated.

Just have to make sure none of the neighbours are looking out as I chase the chickens with a jar of vaseline in hand.

(I can hear your laughter from here)

Not yet, thank goodness! Have known it to snow here from November 'til March, believe me you get sick of seeing white! The hassle that goes with it, winter tyres for the car and shovelling snow from the pavement in front of the house, to name but a few.(Its law here that houseowners have to keep "their" bit of pavement clear.)
