calling any one from missouri

There may be another freeze tonight. I have covered my plants again. Most of them did fine under buckets last night.

How are all those chicks doing?

They are great! We lost the little Silkie with cross beak and was missing an eye, but I really didn't have much hope for that one. I got the remaining 37 in 2 pack and plays and they got maybe a week before it starts getting tight. I have 1 door to install and just a bit more siding to finish, then I can line the coop with plywood and make a temporary huge brooder out there for them.

I'm going to have to make a top for my brooder plates when I raise more chicks, I hate how dirty they have gotten them.

If you want to check them out I have individual pictures on my flock threat.

If they are Premier 1 heat plates, they sell domed covers that work quite well.

Getting green out

It got down to 39º here overnight. We got no rain at all. There is very dense fog. We’re waiting for it to lift and then we’ll go to Lamar’s city wide garage sales….
