Ready for Predicted Cold Weather

Horse stalls clean and blankies at the ready.It does not get anywhere near as cold as it did in WA state but Mooser is getting older now. Want to keep both geldings comfortable.
Some spilled hay scooped up to put in Bachelor roosters coop.
The white Silky roo sleeps on floor, others sit on roost pole. Oops, there is Rowdy roo in the fresh hay tonight.
I think when hens lived with Silky roo they made him stay on the floor and it became habit. LOLChicken feed station. Scratch bucket, shavings and kibble cans. Neighbor gave us a couple of pumpkins and the chickens love that pumpkin. I give them a big slice every couple days. They stuff on the flesh and don't even want their scratch!
The little Bantam Frizzle wants to sleep on coop floor. She is in the smaller coop with just three others that roost there. I'll get her some hay piles, the shavings are not deep enough to keep warm in.

I think the tiny brown egg is Frizzles since she is now old enough to lay. A tiny egg shows up about every other day.
Zoey needs cleaning up! But will just clip face and feet then scissor body hair, too cold out now for shaving down.
Ok, all is ready for coming freezing rain and snow by Friday. (((sigh))) I cannot complain because we've had weeks and weeks of mild temps.
