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.
 
Yeah for sure, I'm going to have to cut down after next hatching season. It's getting to be too much for me. I'm outside Winfield, so almost to the OK border.
