And now I smell like a wet dog...
I couldn't take it any longer. I just HAD to candle. We had some fresh snow while I was gone and now we have a warm wind, with a light rain, which melts the snow and leaves a bright shiny puddle on top of all the ice from the last melt, making it smoother than a freshly groom hockey rink. Anyway, it's about 100 yards to the barn, and about 70 of those yards are inside the pasture where my wonderful LGD puppy romps and plays. Wonder pup is, by design, oblivious to the fact that his outer coat is wet and he's a super friendly dog that wants to greet mom and stay real close, just in case he's needed. Actually, wonder-pup is much appreciated cause he is actually heavy enough, at 5.5 months of age, to support me as I slip and slide all the way to the barn. It's like having a fuzzy wet walker
But I digress, I made it to the barn and back again, in my pajamas and parka, without falling down
Now I know some of my eggs are developing, I've confirmed that green eggs are still impossible to see into, and I found 5 fresh ones that I brought in. I tried to look under Goldie, but I didn't feel any eggs, she should still have 4. I'll look more again later when I have help. It was awkward to try and stand over all the chickens on the floor who literally froze as soon as I cut the lights off.
The broody Icelandic is still in broody mode so I took one of the fresh eggs and left it in front of her in the box, I'll go look in an hour or so and see if she's tucked it under her, if not I'll pull it.
