Dixie Chicks

It's going to get down to 7f Wednesday they say. I'm ready for some cold to set in


Ugh! It's 28f here now and has been all day, not sure what it's gonna be tonight. Supposed to warm up for a day then go back down. Glad it doesn't get too bad here, Idaho was brutal for me. -45f and it froze the diesel in the trucks, no thanks! lol

In Fahrenheit... Man I wish it was 9°C all this **** snow would melt!!
 
About outhouses and winter, using a outhouse in -20C isn't a problem as long as you have a polystyrene seat - don't make the mistake on sitting down on a plastic one, that will make you leap up and hit your head in the ceiling. The outhouse provides protection from wind, so it's pretty nice. At least it's a lot better than just going in the forest. And if it's an actively used outhouse, it will provide some heat by itself.
Quick outhouse story.....when my oldest son was just over 2 years old, we were visiting his father's family in Kentucky. My exs aunt did not have an indoor toilet. My newly potty trained son said he had to go to the bathroom. My ex says, "Put your coat on" DS says, "I don't want to go outside, I have to go to the bathroom".......poor little guy....was not used to the two going together....especially at Christmas time in the cold!

i go to the south for the winter, finally able to get on the computer and everyone is gone, what did y'all do

Heres a pic of one of my soup pot rockstars.
Sucks you can't keep them all, I had some cool ones.
Yeah, this! I have Icelandics and I wish I had the ability to keep all the cockerels and see how they matured......just not possible

@Beer can He looks really cool!

I have about a week to decide if I want chicks before we head out on vacation. I'd want chicks if broody doesn't hatch out anything and if she stays broody...

IF?! IF?! Are you kidding me?!

In other good news, it's 4:15pm and there is still light out!

Question: do you find your chickens make a difference in the mosquito population around your house?

I think my chickens keep the general bug population down......I have bat houses for bats that keep my mosquito population down.
