    Mr P also doesn't (or didn't) seem to mind the rain, even if he looked horrible when wet hahaha! These days though with his lack of feathers on his head, he doesn’t stay outside when it’s raining.

    Hardhat but no safety gloves - love picking apart photos - also yellow hardhats are normally for safety personnel. Safe chickies tax Misty - get down from there, that is dangerous!

    Shhhh! don't tempt the Fates! It's still a goodly amt of snow! This view gives a great view of the coops, might not be a good idea to go 'up'; don't want the neighbours to whine about the chooks watching them skinny dipping! :gig

    Yep that was my thought, but with the heavy poly. Cut to fit door, then cut strips so the chooks can come and go as they wish.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Nope water is right next to the overhead panel, and porridge also. Textured feed near by.... They insist upon going into the stalls to pick through them and then get cold and just huddle together all fluffed up. I am thinking of limiting their access to the whole barn, just keep them up near...

    I had hoped having the horses in overnight might warm up the barn, but it's at -5C at the east end of the barn where the horses stalls are, their water buckets again had ice forming. I think I am going to treat the whole barn as an 'outside' area (like a run), and the Hen Houses as the...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Feedroom is 12C (54F), barn is now around -4C at the west door, likely colder at the other end. -5C is where I find my gang doesn’t do so well. Today I noted that they didn’t eat even half their feed (porridge or pellets), and far less water consumption. This is what worries me, I made sure...

    Oh gosh how sad - I have had so much crop issues this past year. Lost 2 and finally figured out a regimen for Flopsy and managed to save her, but gosh I was sure she would die. Had issues with Clyde also, not sure if related, no crop issues just sick. He’s been on feedroom rest (where it’s...

    Smart girl! These Polish are very clever it seems! Mr P snuggled under the heat panel - looks kinda creepy actually! And Betty and Petra near the panel in HH-A. Smart Polish!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Mother Nature has gone off the rails and over a cliff it seems. It’s so miserably cold here even my horses don’t want to stay out.

    You can always just bring her in at night. Give her body a chance to warm up and digest some scratch grain. I am doing this with Clyde, Mrs LC, Flopsy, Tippy and Sweetie. They are struggling with the cold, so in they come at night. They all go out during the day (well except Clyde unless I...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    It’s been cold here but sunny. It was -27C when I got up, now it’s -15C. Tomorrow’s storm that the States is expecting, will dump about 20cm of snow. So, not overly excessive, but it’s expected to be cold here until mid Feb. no warm up really at all. t this point I am just waiting for May...

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    It was -27C here (now -15C), but hold on to you hat…. My sister in Washago was -37C without the wind chill hahahaha - yep that reason alone is why I won’t move up north! Not to mention the 7’ of snow so far this winter she has. Spain is looking real good right now.
