Mrs BY Bob is going to die when she sees this.

Die happy, I hope!

You didn’t dip you wing and dance in a circle first!!

That must have been it.

I hope it's ok to share this duck clip here. I just loved it.

Aww, he’s lovely! And any man who loves animals like that is an awesome man in my books.

Well, the chicken tax payments are going to be late in coming there are now thigh high drifts of Snow out there. View attachment 2528709We struggled out with the waterers and DH put one in front of the trailer a foot or two away from the door. The Chickens sensibly said “nope!” No one ventured out. We did relocate Roostie and his ladies into the barn, surrounded by hay bales and topped with the brooder box lid as owl protection. The snow was drifted up over his tractor and some had even managed to sift into the roosting box overnight. Yesterday we got everyone else turned so the non vented backs of the tractors were facing the wind. View attachment 2528707
that’s a 63L garbage can almost completely buried by a drift. It’s not actually that deep, maybe a foot and a half of actual snowfall at most, but the winds here like to make things interesting for us. Good news is it’s much warmer now, +6 C by tuesday... so the tanks should unfreeze soon.

Can’t see your attachments Kris.

Warm Water

They line up every morning now when I bring fresh water out. Hattie is always first.

I sat in the run with them for a while yesterday morning. Something has happened to my relationship with Sansa. She would not eat any meal worms from my hand and kept a wide berth from me at all times. I wonder why?

Some photos from our time together.

Hmmm Sansa's behaviour is very odd. I wonder what she's thinking.

They are wonderfully imposing birds. I was within beak reach and it started "booming". I think it was objecting to having it's picture taken.

It was our 33rd anniversary last Saturday.

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! There are quite a few on here with anniversaries in February! We just celebrated 36 years on the 2nd!

I read the are getting a year’s worth of snow in one week. Brrr.

I guess whatever arguments the Princesses were having have been put aside. Could they possibly squish up any tighter?!
I also cannot get over how much the road-runners can fluff themselves up. Dotty on the left and Minnie on the right. I promise they are not that fat!
