05.Hang Cabbage for Exercise and Entertainment

Similar to us, hens may get a bit restless and stir-crazy during the winter. In the coop, they certainly seem to appreciate a head of cabbage strung on a line. They attack it wildly as it bobs about. Try this easy method to keep your chickens content.

06.Offer Passive Warmth With a Sunroom

If you're concerned that your females won't have enough room in the coop, you may construct a greenhouse- or cold frame-style extension to your building and cover it in transparent plastic. On pleasant days, they will venture out into it to have a little more room, and you can relax knowing they aren't too confined and are receiving some fresh air.

08.Scatter Hay or Straw

In general, hens won't go outside into the snow if it's below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. To make the ground more appealing to them, sprinkle some hay or straw on it. They don't seem to dislike walking in the snow as much when it's a bit warmer, in the low 30s.
