Yikes! Yeah, take pics! I wasn't ready for winter this year and have lucked out! I get so far behind. I should just start getting ready for next winter right now and skip all the spring. summer and fall stuff....

.

Thanks! I go from pen to pen now and tame down and play with them all...it's tons of fun! The bigger ones now are a lot of fun to wrestle. 3 of them trust me enough now to grab them and use them as a pillow while scratching them...

.

Stay warm! It'll be spring soon!

How's this for snow??? Our barn is BIG. Doesn't look as large in these pictures. I was trying to find a summer picture for comparison but just can't find one.








I HATE SNOW!!!! And winter.

We're getting more and more couple of times a week, it's ridiculous. Just had a couple of inches and they're saying another couple for tomorrow. AND for the weekend.
Someone make it stop! If I never saw snow again for the rest of my life, I would be very happy.

Well, it is 6*F here right now, and due to go below zero overnight and stay frigid for the weekend...but our hens are thinking spring! 6 broodies have hatched over the past few weeks and another is sitting...
So these little ones are ready for spring already...

My Silkie hens are very persistent about being broody as well! I have 4 Silkie hens, they're all broody.

So is my frizzle LF Cochin hen. And looks like one of my LF Orpington hens is thinking about it too. One goes broody, they all go broody.

I keep telling them to wait until spring because I will have plenty of eggs for everyone to hatch, but they don't seem to to be listening very well.
Your chicks are cute! I can't wait to start hatching. Something fun to look forward to with all this snow. lol

Happy Valenswine's Day....I mean Valentine's Day....

Very cute!

Sanna it can't be all bad - isn't snow a good insulator?

Fisher Lady, love the look on your broody's face

And we have a lack of snow here. We should be at about 29 inches total and we are at about 10. Although last year they were at 40 inches at this time, I am so glad that I was not here at that time.
Cold today, -16 degrees when I got up. Sunny out, but still at -10 and the wind picked up. -24 with the windchill factored in.

Holy smokes, Sanna! I have been wondering if you are one of the people out east there making videos of yourself jumping off of roof tops and out of windows onto the snow...lol. Dang!...that is a lot of snow! Yeah, I bet you are getting tired of it. I remember one time it snowed a bunch and bunch and the snow got hard...could only see the very top couple inches of my pasture fence posts in places....my cows just walked out of my one pasture and were headed to go walk-a-bout, but luckily I seen them doing it...

. I seen one of those funny caption photos the other day...it showed just a very light skiff of snow on the ground in a park or somewhere...you could still see some ground...the words said - Georgia...we are sending prayers.....lol! I just tried to find it but couldn't.

It's all bad at this point. lol Maybe snow is a good insulator, but when there's this much of it and it keeps snowing and snowing and snowing more on/off, life becomes difficult when you have 50 equines and over a 100 smaller animals to care for.

Well, I'm not one of those people on the videos jumping off roof tops....but I did used to do that when I was a kid and still lived in Finland.

I remember there was one year when we had so much snow that it reached up to the roof of my grand parents house. The snow had some in an angle that it covered the entire back of the house all the way up to the roof. So us geniuses, myself, my brother and our cousins would just walk on the snow, get up on the roof and jump down into an area where the snow wasn't quite so high. lol We often would need help getting OUT of the snow.

And then we dug tunnels all over. That amount of snow is exciting when you're a kid and don't have to work in it.

Glad you caught those cows of yours! I wonder where they were going? lol We had one horse exit his paddock recently because one of our plow guys had plowed a mountain of snow practically on the fence, so the horse was just able to walk over the snow and step over the fence. lol

We got more snow.

But Paco is a happy chap today, because it miraculously reached 40 degrees today and it was really warm.

Don't worry....it won't last long. Tomorrow will be freezing again.


Then there's little Frankie. My bantam Sumatra cockerel. I have two of them, decided to keep this one and sell the brother, because the brother is a bully. Poor Frankie was getting beat up, lost some feathers and was looking really miserable for a while. Now that brother has been removed from the coop, Frankie is starting to blossom. I can't wait for him to grow all his feathers back to see what he'll look like fully mature.

Same here in NJ, we got about 5 inches. Goats were NOT happy at all, even though we shoveled out a space in their pen. Today got 44, so thats at least good for the snow melting! Btw, love that pic of your horse! Very cool!
