Oh My! Not sure how to take this, I've been able to collect 1 or 2 eggs a day, today, not 1!!! I feel cheatedOur Dominic has been hanging out in the coop with the
new girls, hardley coming out. Still no new layers just the BA and Wels. We're at a balmy 48 degrees today, cloudy. I can't help but wish the days away to spring.
Congratulations to all the new egg collectors! It's so stinking eggciting! Hope all had a good day!
We are having a serious flood situation here! You know how I live on a river? Well now the river is in the hen house. My son and I waded out with head lamps and moved the chickens to higher ground. But now I'm worried because it's supposed to change to snow after midnight. They're in the shed, but I don't know if they'll be warm enough? Our bridge is out and we can't go anywhere. My BF can't get home from work. My next door neighbor has 2 inches of water in his living room. The flood siren is going off, and it is SO ominous sounding. This all happened in the last 2 hours, and we're supposed to get 2 more inches of rain before midnight!
Fortunately, our house is on higher ground. It's survived a hundred years of storms. Plus we're all stocked up on food and dry firewood. But this is crazy. And I'm worried for our neighbors.
Thankfully, we still have internet
What a terrible thing, hope all goes well and you're all safe ! Thoughts and prayers to everyone!
Now I have to take that back. Flipped some of the chips around and she had an egg buried in thereDid our hens have a secret meeting,?? I have been getting 2 eggs a day with nine hens... today not one hen laid. So we are both together on this.
Sorry to hear this Brooster hopefully your neighbors are safe and dry right now. Your chickens should be fine if they are in a dry/draft free place. They might not like it but they will be okay. It's great that you guys are prepared for this. Hopefully your BF finds someplace safe to spend the night tonight.We are having a serious flood situation here! You know how I live on a river?

You go girl, I would have done the same! You should be fine as long as the bags aren't opened. We still have lots of winter left, my girls going through feed a lot more than when they truly get to free range ON something. You should see them here wandering around looking for something green or some bugs. lol..Sorry to hear this Brooster hopefully your neighbors are safe and dry right now.

On a side note. I went back to Wilco today and got another 100# of feed. So I have about 230# of feed. In a big tub in my house. It will be dry and away from bugs and small critters. I just hope it doesn't go bad before we use it all up. I just couldn't pass up the 50% off deal.
egg day. Getting closer to that ellusive 9, every girl lay day
