I read that making up some hot mash or hot oatmeal is good for cold chickens. So when we had power, I whipped up a cup of quick oats and took it out to my hens.

My hens were not impressed. I honestly think they accused me of trying to poison them. I left it where they were less likely to step in it (again), because sometimes when I leave, they scarf up new treats. An hour or two later it was a definite no go, and I had to pick up the frozen, uneaten masses of oatmeal.
