It's gotten quiet around here lately!
Those of us in the southeastern portion of the state are now officially under a tropical storm warning. We are predicted to get sustained winds of 30-40 mph on Monday with gusts of 50-70 mph. No one warned me about this possibility when I moved down here!
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my chickens on Monday. My coop is of reasonable quality for a pre-fabricated one, but the entire thing probably weighs less than 400 lbs. I'm not at all confident in its ability to withstand those kinds of winds. I currently have 2 adult hens, 4 half-ish grown pullets (about 3 months old), and 2 chicks (about 2 months old). The best solution I can come up with is to cram them all into my wire dog crate, cover it so that they think it's night, stick them in the barn with the horses, and hope they don't beat up on each other too much before the storm ends. Not ideal, but it beats having them blown into the next county...Do you think this will work? Other ideas?
What are the rest of you doing to prepare?
