Are the worker mans going to be able to continue to work on your house stuff in that?

that would be 2-4 inches.. houston would be paralyzed, but I think people up north can handle it

Nope! Not even one snowflake! We got some ice but it melted within the day.

Other than clearing the ground and doing the initial "scraping " for the drive nothing has been done. They haven't been here since Thursday. Grrrrr evidently it's going to be another 2 weeks or more before the grade beams get here.

Do Silkies and D'Uccles require any special care? Like, because of their feathers, especially on the legs and feet? The Silkie's just look like fuzz at this point. Except its wings. That long fringe is something else. Makes the wings look so much bigger. And the feathers coming off the feet of the D'Uccle is neat but could or does it get matted or anything? I have heard of people "washing" their chickens. I won't HAVE to do that will I? I need to do research so I know what I am getting myself in to.

I don't give birds with feathered feet any special care.

As far as silkies go, they feel the cold more because of their feather type. Mine did fine in -40 last winter though, so I'm not sure I believe that.
