Consolidated Kansas

Good morning, Kansas!
Are we digging that extreme temperature spike followed by the 50° drop??! Omg.
I let my girls out yesterday morning, they looked around a bit, and one by one, went right back in the coop! Lol. They think it’s nonsense.
Nope I'm not digging it at all & my birds aren't either. It sure is flaring up my arthritis badly. I'm trying to get winterizing done & the weather isn't cooperating. I had two eye surgeries recently for glaucoma & it really put me behind getting things done. I've gotten some tarps up, but I just got a big roll of plastic yesterday to start putting up today & it's not great out there today either.

Oh geez! So that sounds challenging!!
I don’t even have a good excuse; but I’m behind on the winterizing.
I have one wall of my coop that stays open all summer. I just got a portion of it closed back up right before the storm. Now I have to get the rest done before the next drop.
Not sure whereabouts you are, but we’re hearing 19° Monday!!

I just looked at the forecast for here & the low is supposed to be 32 with mixed rain & snow. Ugh, I hate this stuff & it's too early for this! I spent several hours outside yesterday putting up tarps & plastic & have to go back out in a bit & try to get the rest up. I wish I had a crystal ball so I could have known this was coming. It sure hasn't been fun out in that cold trying to get this all done. I got up hurting so bad this morning from what I did yesterday & I'm going to have to just grit my teeth & go back out there. I have to get the sides closed in to stop the wind. I leave the west & south sides open usually but I have to at least get the north side blocked off. I got my chick pen all cozy yesterday for the ones growing out. I hate having chicks in the fall, it just fell that way this year. I have moved a lot of them out to their permanent pens, but there are still some yet to get big enough.
 
@Trish44
Oh man. I feel ya. I did something Saturday that hurt my lower back. Kept going today, more slowly though. Lol.
The things we go through for these chickens!!

Whereabouts are you located? I think I’ve asked you before, but I can’t remember.
