well when asked before i said let them out but i let mine out a week ago and lost 8-9 in foggy weather lol so i would say keep em in now until weather is back to normal

 

[sapper756]

I let mine out Jimmy weather permitting at weekends.

[Wiley]

yea forgot to say weather permitting

[Guest TAMMY_1]

LET MINE OUT EVERY DAY IF IT IS OKAY, MEANING KEPT IN IF VERY HIGH WINDS OR FOGGY

[maverick]

because of hawks mine are kept in all week out at weekend for 1 hour it seems to have worked as i have not seen the hawk for a while

[Tony C]

I dont think there's anything to be gained by letting them out everyday during winter. Mine go out once a week for a bath.

[Ronnie]

because ive just moved mine are kept in .If i had them broke i would leave them on open door so they can do what they choose.

[Guest CS]

Mine are kept in til Jan  .... they always get a bath once a week in the aviary.

[birdman55678]

Mine are out everyday if the weather permits.  Ed

[Guest jason]

mine are out everyday, regardless of weather conditions but as they're all paired they don't fly so much, cocks normally chase hens up and down loft roof.
