We only got two eggs today but, on the bright side, there were no vandals near the coop. After the morning chores, I stopped by the coop again just before 11am and the water was frozen. I was able to chip the layer of ice off the one on the 'deck' but the other waterer was frozen solid. I brought it home and thawed it out. I returned around 2:30pm with the thawed and refilled waterer and changed that out for the now almost frozen one on the 'deck'. I took that one home with me and returned again at 5pm with a refilled waterer for the chickens to have a drink before going into the coop for the night. I imagine the Tuesday family might want to do the same sort of thing tomorrow.
The chickens seemed to handle the cold pretty well and ate a lot today. We put out some extra straw this evening in the coop and the run.
The door is pretty cantankerous with the bent latch at the top.
