Did you remember to move your clocks ahead? It took a minute to figure out why it was an hour earlier in the barn this morning

I think I found it, we've got over a foot added to the drifts that were already here

Here in Fountain. We have nothing on the ground. It was just windy and cloudy yesterday. Just a few snow flakes fell that are long gone by now. Now it is just really windy with the sun out. How very dissapointing. We sure could have used the moisture.

My dog caused a triple post to my sardonic laughter.

i found it too, our old snows drifts got bigger and then went on to make new ones about 2 feet tall. i tried to take a picture of my daughter standing in one of the new ones, but they were frozen darn near solid. my driveway is a solid sheet of ice. i'm just thankful today is supposed to be so nice, and this crap will melt away quickly this week. not looking forward to the mud pits though...

I've decided I can ship our hatching eggs through UPS, so anyone who wants some (EE or other mutt chicken) please PM me.

Sooo tired. Insomnia last night and a sick toddler this morning. And now I am doctoring two of the weak chicks from the batch I recieved Thursday. The first one is doing much better. She is peeping and walking again. I even saw her eat a bit of the mash I made for them! BIG improvement as I found her in the almost-dead sprall being trampled by her sisters. The other I just brought up is exhausted (also was being trampled and half spralled out) so I am settling for just knowing she is still going. Bringing her up also seemed to help the first chick. She needed a buddy. Time for the next sugar water infusion...

Does anybody around the Denver metro area own cochins or polish chickens and can sell me hatching eggs??

Wow....., I just heard from cackle and they are shipping me my chicks Wednesday . I am half panicked and half excited. I have 16 layers and decided to do meaties. 10 red broilers and 15 Cornish cross. And hopefully 5 Marans for eggs! My extended coop for the meaties isn't started yet and so now we finally get snow. I know I wanted to raise some chicks for meat but the reality is kicking in. Has anyone else had that feeling? Got a giant long box from Big R for the brooder, usually only use a wire dog kennel. Hope it will be large enough for a couple weeks. We have the pallets collected for a pallet coop. Should go up fairly easy if I can get the weather to cooperate. It will be 8x8x8 so I can stand in it to clean, and they will have access to a meadow to range. Oh my goodness how did March sneak up on me so fast.i still want to go into the Peyton post office to tell them it is ok to call me at 5 or as soon as they come in. They are so nice there.......breathe........
