calling any one from missouri

[1cock2hens]

My chickens are all over like always, I'm wondering if it's because mine don't stay in a coop so they just deal with it? They sometimes sleep in the rafters of my goat shelter or under the house so they do have places to be they just don't utilize them often. Most are gamefowl mixes with a few light brahma running in the flock.

Our little cat squeezed into the chicken run to chase the birds who are eating the feed, and in the ensuing chaos, all our chickens ended up outside. I scattered their afternoon meal worms and it was suddenly just like any other day to them. Out in the sunshine, eating, drinking. It wasn’t The End of the World after all.

Mine were terrified of the snow. We only got 3-4 inches. I put down straw. They still stayed inside. At least tomorrow looks decent.

It's 6°F this morning and both coops are a lot warmer inside. Coop Uno is 32.2°F and Coop Deux is 30.8°F inside. With a high of 25° today both coops will be plenty warm.

I spread some pine chips yesterday in the Coop Uno run so we'll see if any of that bunch comes out today or not.

the wild birds are desperately trying to find food, and the chicken feed is their target. I made another clothes hangar scare crow today…

Look what The Man got me for Christmas!

It came with the telling of a great story. Which if you know me, you know i love a good story and I am a sucker for a great storyteller.
The man is not particularly a great storyteller by intent. As in he doesn’t try to tell a story with flare or added animation. But you'll be in stitches anyway by the time he's done just telling it like it was.
Christmas shopping stories are always epic because he always proctastinates and then has to drive all over the country looking for what he's got his heart set on getting.
He has the damndest time

Anyway, we had seen these lanterns a long time ago but i didn't want to spend the money on it at the time. I think i even may have posted them here.

So, last minute shopper decides to go see if somehow they are still there.
Nope. The lady told him "would you believe i actually just sold the last one the other day?"
Foiled!
Well one thing about The man he can strike up a 2 hour conversation about everything and nothing with anyone he meets.
He had asked this shop lady if she knew anyone who would want to buy some stained glass we have to sell so she took his number.

She called him up a few days later and said the woman who had bought the duck lantern had returned it if he still wanted it.
Well yes he did! Dropped what he was doing and drove to get it before the shop closed.

Why did the lady return it he asked?
Well, she said,
Her husband stubbed his toe on it and demanded she get rid of it.

I never know which parts of these stories are factually accurate. Either way the Lantern is MINE now and black toes be damned i am keeping it.

It got up above 20º and seemed ’warm’….then a magical sight—a horse and buggy trotting up the snowy road. But no jingle bells here, it’s Amish hunters using the land across the road.

Oh and the snow geese have arrived early this year!!!!
