We're supposed to get a direct hit here on Tuesday, although it will not be a hurricane at that point. We'll most likely lose power and since we're on a well, that means no water. Luckily we have propane so we can cook. Went out today and stocked up on soup and mainly non-perishables. I came home from college in Maryland to ride it out here. We're putting away all the outside furniture tomorrow, and securing a couple things down that can't be moved.
Question for you, should we lock the chickens up, or allow them outside access? They have a covered run, but I'm worried if a tree falls (we live in the woods) that it could hit the run and crush it, which would allow the chickens to go anywhere.The goats are smart enough to stay inside, so I'll be throwing in an extra bale of straw for bedding and most likely just giving them and entire bale of hay in case it is too bad to go outside during the day.
Is anyone starting to prepare?
