Hahahaaaa!!!!!A Big Surprise
I think advancing to number 2 in the tribe has gone to Aurora's head. I found this when I woke up this morning!
@The-White-Elephant you may have missed the spoiler as I was editing.

Really? The squirrels around here scream a LOT. Though I can’t tell when they're yelling at each other and when they’re yelling at other animals.I don’t think I have ever heard a squirrel calling an alarm.
I should have read ahead. Ours scream, too. Can’t tell which scream might be an alarm.I have not only heard a Squirrel alarm. I have heard them scream.
That is my conclusion too.If it were here in California, I’d say it was a turkey vulture.
But I’m still a rooster!Tall for a
Yup but I bet the hens rule the rooster!But I’m still a rooster!
I feel for you, been really chilly here. I worry about my wee Silkies but they seem fine.Somewhat to my surprise all my chickens are alive this morning.
I know others cope with lower temperatures, but I was prepared for the worst.
It is 3 F (-16 C) and Dotty is disgusted. I think she blames me.

I have the same heated waterer as @BY Bob, but I noticed that Maggie is a real wattle-dunker and I got worried about her getting frostbite on her wattles so I got this one and just stand a 5gallon bucket with horizontal nipples on it.I feel for you, been really chilly here. I worry about my wee Silkies but they seem fine.
The youngsters 13 week old chicks r finding it hard as they are going through their first molt. I have the cozy panel heater for them and they huddle by that when they need to warm up.
My big issue is water freezing. Going to check with some feedmills to see if they have a heated one.
Surprisingly though everyone is ok, I should say it is around -10C in the barn right now, in the hen house at night it was around -3C, when I open the door though it cools to the ambient temp of the rest of the barn.
