calling any one from missouri

We've got some rain coming in tonight. Everyone went to bed early. I have one hen who doesn't molt until late. I swear she's always half bald in the worst cold snap.

I have a Salmon Faverolle EE that resembles a Naked Neck right now, and my hen house, which we just cleaned from top to bottom, is so full of feathers it looks like a chicken explosion in there. I'm still getting as many as 7 to 9 eggs a day although my chicken-tending friends have been eggless now for over a month ... my day is coming, no doubt, but so far I'm still keeping at least one of them in eggs and will do so as long as I can. Hang in there, hens! You're doing great!

Oof crazy, only made it to 56 here and I'm just an hour or so from you

I think we made it into the lower 80's down here in SE part of the state. Gonna be mid-50's in the morning and high 70's tomorrow afternoon. I'm LOVING this weather!

It’s 48º here this morning…
There’s a Clint Eastwood movie with a rooster in it, called Cry Macho. The chicken is the 3rd most important character in the movie, and is really well trained…

57F here right now, 89% humidity.
Low of 53 tomorrow morning, high tomorrow 77. Not bad.

I can't find wood to get us through the winter. I had the most amazing supplier but his wife made him retire, he was pushing 80.

@jthornton, do you know anyone in the area that sells wood?

I bought some from a guy but it seemed like a one time deal. I do see a lot of wood for sale around here in rural areas. I'll try and keep an eye out for the signs. IIRC I've seen the signs on W and T going to the lake. You might have to ride around and look for signs.

I need to get a huge tree cut down and I have one that broke over. Might get some lumber from them and fill up my bins with the limb wood.

@BigBlueHen53 I didn't see any ads on craigslist but saw some in fb marketplace.

Too bad yall aren't out this direction, alot of people sell wood out this way and if you cut your own I would gladly let you harvest some here.
