morning y'all

checking in -- how is everyone? how are all the fowl on the farms?

question of day
vaseline on combs that show frost bite? yea or nay?

is it spring yet? I am not looking forward to this next cold snap. ugh

I just put a little 75 watt lizard light in. Comes on at 2 and goes off at 7.

I havent been very good at showing you guys how my kittens are doing. They have moved out to my workshop where they have the run of the end of it. It has a pony wall that runs most of the width that I blocked the top of with chicken wire to keep them away from my tools. They have developed a habit of pushing anything sitting on a flat surface, off the said flat surface. I have a cat flap for them but have it blocked off. not sure i am ready for them to venture outdoors with this cold yet. I am kicking myself for not introducing them to the outdoors while it was still green outside.

Super cute. DW almost lost it.

A photographer that is doing a project came by and took some shots of us in the garage. What do you think?

Great pictures! Makes me want to fire up the bike and just go. We didn't get a chance to ride as much as we wanted to last year, so I'm hoping to make more time for it this year.


You ride too? I will have to swing by and we can go see Klop!!

I was in for 31 years both active and National Guard. I would agree the bluffs, valleys and rivers make this a beautiful place to live. I will send pictures later if this set up works to curb the frozen egg situation. The real test will come this weekend.

Looking forward to them. Thanks for your service!!

they are way way way too cute. Its very cool that they have buddies and aren't sole cats. Cant wait to see how it works out with the chickens- I'm always wanting to get a couple of barn kitties vacinated against the feline leukemia and raising them up in the coop. I get stuck on the cats wanting outside at night and the coop being shut up at night thing, though.

today is a feed trip day, driving up to Askov feed mill . If it weren't so blasted cold I would consider heading up to superior but....that and chores keeps me closer to home today.

anyone keeping their flocks inside today? or offering feed and water inside so it is their choice if they head out?

 

[The BlanchRanch]

I have been opening doors. But they don't go out.
So when it is like this. Why even let that little heat difference out.

Yeah, they are hunkered down for the weekend. If my broodies are causing trouble then ... Well then ...

That was the first bike I owned!! Loved it.

Are they still made? I'm getting ready to buy a bike ( now that I've cleared the way).
