Morning! DH is on his way to TX. Crazy winds here as well and I made it down and out of the driveway early AM but no such luck getting back up and my footpath to the door is all blown in.
Sigh! They say heavy snow in a few days, so I guess I had better get some driveway prep done and bring down more firewood! Tomorrow is supposed to be less windy and warm.
Let's hope!
Meg, brew more coffee and take something for a sore neck that is in your future! Have FUN and enjoy the day, Cafe!

Oh no! Did you have to park and walk, Margie? Hope DH is successful in his hog hunt! Will probably have fun either way, huh?

Some of us setup web cams too!

I've thought of this. But I wouldn't get anything done if I did.

Good evening Cafe.
Hot chocolate weather here so there's a jug on the stove if anyone fancies a cup.
Pissing down with rain. A few minor landslides. Glad to get indoors and get the stove going.
Elder sister has just had her first Covid jab. She's okay. Three month wait for the second.

Glad you all understand

Good evening to you and thanks for the hot chocolate. Sounds delish!

Why such on long wait on the second dose?

I don't know Meg. No self respecting drug dealer could get away with that crap.
I guess they cant get the gear.

Well, shoot. Hopefully it will have the same effectiveness. Maybe it doesn't matter how far apart, just that you get both.

Morning, Cafe. Thanks for the coffee, Sour.

We had horrible high humidity last week. 84% was the highest I saw. These girls have minor frostbite. Doubt anything will fall off.

Birds of a feather... They are always together! So funny how chickens are cliquey.

So I think I've screwed up my lockdown. Do you start the beginning of day 18 or 19? I thought I had it all figured out and was going to lockdown tonight. Then I started thinking I set eggs on the night of the second - was I supposed to start the night of the 20th or, like I originally thought, tonight?

Either way, I'm a half day early or late because I filled up the B port this morning.

How thick is that shuttering plywood you've used for the coop Meg?

I've never incubated eggs but I wonder how is it that humidity in an incubator is so very important when a hen incubating eggs can't control such things?

I believe she can in a natural nest.

Maybe we'll find out next year. I'm just not going through this again this year.

Did two last year. Not sure what the stuff was but it worked! Glad I was close to the tiolet.

I think we used 1/2" OSB (oriented strand board) on the inside. We had used it to line the outside of the cow pens in the barn so they couldn't see the dogs walking by them. Repurposed
