AntiqueB 2026: a 365 project thread

Someone finally walked on the evil white stuff!

We went to Bobo's Cafe in the Chappaqua, NY, train station.

There's also apparently a farmer's market. I wonder if they sell live chickens!

Meanwhile, we continue to freeze: high today of -12°C (10°F), not including the wind chill delivered by 40 mph (64 kph) winds.

Only the four 5-month-old pullets dared brave the below-freezing temperature and wind. The 4 older and wiser hens stayed in the covered run.

Chichetta.

Luiga.

Peck, with Chichetta in the background.

Peck finally got a clean bill of health after months of bumblefoot. She's the last Original Chicken at nearly 6 years old, and an adorable lap chicken. She rules the flock, too!

I can finally tell who lays what among the 4 pullets.

Wyandotte, Welsummer, Olive Egger, Barnevelder

We have had temps in the low 30s in the daytime, and below freezing at night. Last night, it rained a bit. This clearly makes for fascinating snow formations.

Morning was pretty today.

The dripping pipe finally did what I had hoped it would do!

Bonus of Valentino. My son and I rode him today for our lessons. He is not my horse. He is not nice. He bites, and kicks, too! He trips over his own feet. But he's pleasant enough when he's being groomed after a ride.
