News flash: chickens think owner crazy report strange substance on ground.

Can you almost hear what our flock of young chickens are thinking upon seeing their 1st snowfall? I'm guessing it's something like this: "What is wrong with the ground?Is this woman CRAZY? She thinks we're going to step outside onto THAT? Nope!".
So, alas, our laying hens (2 flocks of 50) are no longer free-range, but rather cooped for winter. At least it's by their own choice!
Maybe they'll get used to the snow... :-)
