We didnt get much snow where I'm at in Landrum (NC/SC border), saw some flurries mixed with rain. But wind...oh the wind rushing down off the mountain. I opened the pop door, and one by one all 8 of my girls were blown right off it! I only wish I had a video, they each got up, shook themselves...

I think the guy that told me about it said it was 50#'s for $10. And that it was a mixture of diff things. So that would be quite a bit cheaper than feed at Tractor Supply or Blue Ridge feed.
