Parts of the UK and Europe are being dusted with snow.
I was wondering, do you do anything different during the winter months for your animals or is it a case of a little extra straw and feed?
Have you even had snow yet?
Here in Southend-on-Sea we had a 15 minute light flurry last week but that was it..

Re: Winter shelter
Lots of dramatic snow storms on Thursday - near white out occasionally. All gone the next day. When I kept hens (regretting not having them, but it makes no sense now) I did give them porridge on really cold days but that was my limit. Now I do the same for the wild birds instead.
Re: Winter shelter
I used to make mine warm porridge for breakfast too!!! lol with ACV and garlic in too ha ha....
My daughter is at Uni in Norwich so took photos of the snow, she was VERY excited!

Re: Winter shelter
Don't really do anything different. A bit more straw is about all! 

Happy in Hampshire!
