    Winter is Coming …

    So. My 24 week pullets have been frolickingly, free-ranging on half an acre under the Ohio summer sun for their whole lives. These are my first chickens. They’re pets and I have no expectations of them except love. That being said, Winter is coming. What can I expect? Will they still want to be...

    Wino Buff Orpington

    I've had to switch to one of those steel vacuum cups with a lid. On the pro side, it does stay cold longer and it definitely holds more.
