Good morning. Glad that all are safe if a bit wet.

Good morning WVC

How is your duck cover doing?
Hope that you have a good day.

Morning Scott! Its fine, but will need a new cover, come spring. The weight of the snow and water have stretched it out a bit. I think the water laying on it yesterday actually weighted it down in the wind though, so that was ok!

Starting to spit a little snow-ish rain this morning, but I hope it warms up enough to stay just rain.

I had a visual of your pen and ducks rising into the air like a hot air balloon. Glad that did not happen.

Thanks! With the winds we had yesterday, I had the same visual, but luckily when I got home, all was well!

Here's another visual for you though.... probably 20+ gallons of water pooling on one quarter of the canopy (I have no idea why the other 3 quarters had none), and little ole 5'2, 115# me up under it trying to lift it to drain the water. It could have been a really cold shower. But I did it without a single drop touching me!

I have tarps and such over most of the bird runs for shade and rain. Some of them don't want to drain properly in a heavy rain and when a downward bulge starts it can get real big real fast, so I need to drain them before they rip or even worse break the posts holding them and the run fence up. I have gotten more cold showers then I care to think about.

Cold showers suck, huh?

This one was bulging pretty good, knew I had to fix it, or it would have been worse later. The whole thing needs redone, and the weight of the snow did weaken it last time. This was kinda spur of the moment setup, but has served ok for this winter. I'll do something better in the spring.

Morning All! 7 and sunny! It is a good thing I live an hour away from any possible donut shop; they just look so enticing...... I think eggs and hot coffee will have to do the trick.

Good Morning Margie

I agree that eggs and lots of coffee can make do.
Have a good day!
