Chickens first snow!

We had a little snow storm last night and when we got up this morning, the very first thing we did was run out to check on our girls and silkie(our rooster).  They had fared well through the night but we wanted to see what they would think about going outside a playing in it.  We threw opened their wee side door, now let me pause here to explain that this usually this would result in 11 chickens all trying to get out at once to go out and explore, and to our amazement only our bravest, Henrietta, would jump down!  We grabbed the camera so you could see too! 
Also just in case any of you were worried about silkie shaking with cold, let me assure you that he was fine!  Raine is quite the "mama" to these birds and was just being a good mother hen, if not a little over protective ;)
