Yesterday i notice one of my hens walking around picking up sticks and leaves and trying to put them on her back very funny to see

any ideas ?

Ah... Broody girl :blink:

Or perhaps she'd just laid an egg

Thanks Aunt sally, it's starting to get cold at night here in the west of Ireland.
This winter will be my first with hens, is there anything i need to do to get ready for the snow, the hen coop is well insulated walls floor and roof.

don't insulate their coop too much - they do have their own feather duvets. Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the coop

I have a window with a flap that I close at night and a vent at the back

It is worth oil, grease or siliconinining any catches, locks or hinges while they are dry.
If they fill with water and freeze it can be a struggle to open up on a frosty morning.
The hens can handle the cold as long as they are dry and out of any draughts.
