AAAAAAAAaaaaa
I let my little ones out in the morning...thinking it was getting warmer. Then the Ice started coming down again. Poor little gals were huddled up right outside the coop door. I have the coops heated, since they are in their 7th week, but they would not go inside. DW and I had to get them in the coop 1 at a time. I checked on them again before the snow came down, and they are doing fine. But yes, they are confused about this weather too. Just like ME!!!

Joe, how much snow did you end up with? This morning when I left the house we had 6 inches at least on the cars, very heavy wet snow. Just what we need up on the ridge. Of course, it will be entertaining driving 2 miles in the mud this afternoon.......
I think I will do some more fence building this afternoon if its not too wet.

Hatching eggs arrive in 8 days!

We got about 2-3 inches in the Rural Avondale/ Pueblo SE area. It was raining Ice yesterday so the ground was already cold. So basically what came down last night ...stuck!! It is melting like crazy right now though. Which is good!! WE NEEDED some moisture!!

Fun! I nearly got myself stuck getting to the pavement this morning. Very slippery.
How are the chickens this morning?

DW is going to keep them in!! The little ones...we always allow the adults to decide what they want to do. We open them, they decide if they want out!
