Well no worries I didn’t have to buzz him, the girls plucked out all the blood feathers and now he has a bald spot

But at least he isn’t bleeding anymore poor little man

How come Marty isn't defending her man?

I hear you on the heat and humidity, I am better at handling that then the cold also. But have to say the horses prefer the cold dry weather, but I have been blanketing them lately.

Red spent the day in the feedroom, she is just too fragile in health to be in the cold. I have noticed Penelope has been spending more time in the Hen House and I wonder if she is not feeling well, tomorrow morning I am going to give her a good check over.

wow another hawk, yes I don’t blame you o would leave them in also!

that a great photo


Same here -11c, not the coldest ever but a shock after such mild weather!


hello ladies hopefully it warms up for you soon


Wait till they go to roost, but likely she will be fine, they bleed like crazy but she should be ok


Such beauties

Well to be fair that particular airmass came in from Siberia soooooo guess maybe send it back there???

Why is everyone blaming the Russians for everything?

With good reason. tax

Yes, you Canadians should feel terrible and take you ick back. We have another storm moving in, should hit tomorrow evening. I do not like this one, predicting wet snow instead of dry snow. Wet snow worries me, bigger chance for a power outage. We have been fortunate that thankfully we have never had a power outage. Right now a power outage is terrifying. Keeping warm is not the concern, thanks to grandma's love of quilting have a surplus of quilts and blankets to keep warm. Grandma is on oxygen now. She has been since she was released from the hospital back in September. If power goes out we have 2 big portable oxygen tanks and then we are in trouble.

Oh dear

I hope that you don’t get any snow, and hope your power stays up and running. Gosh I hate winter so much

Bert and Betty are adorable. Silkies and apparently silkie crosses are just darn tricky. If we did not know 100% he was a boy he could still pass for a pullet right now. I believe he is going to make a mighty handsome boy one day. I also feel he is going to be a gentleman and do everyone on FBA proud.

I agree. He's a keeper for sure. Mr. P will thank @Ponypoor for the help.

She has been hiding out while moulting, she is feathered now but still has pin feathers, she and curly are still hiding out, hopefully they will be done in a couple weeks.

Wrong question.

The right question is........

Who is the BOSS?

Spoiler: And the answer is.....

This Lady

Sleep is for the birds tonight. I have had 30 minutes and I give up. Grandma is having a spell tonight where every 30 minutes to a hour she is needing something, or seeing something. I think she finally may be settling down but me and mom agreed no point in laying down right now. The hospice nurse is supposed to be here early this morning. Right now we are tired but functional. If either one of us laid down to get a hour or two nap and then got up for the nurse we would be dead to the world and feel worse then we do now. It is also 0 degrees outside. 0 people. I cannot remember when it has been this cold. As soon as it gets daylight I have got to bundle up and get outside. My horses and chickens need water. No question it froze overnight. Water hose froze over 2 days ago so I am having to pack them inside to fill. I am so ready to send this weather back up north where it belongs. There is about 8 inches of white trash on the ground. Thankfully it is a dry *cough*snow*cough*. It might be bitterly cold but at least it is not soaking the layers of clothing making outside chores worse.

So you are saying there was no temperature. 0 = nothing hence, no temperature

Hopefully that energy supply will keep going on regardless.

There's never enough chips. They like to steal them from me. They also wonder why I don't tidbit my lunch into oblivion.

Well, be the Big Rooster and tidbit your lunch into oblivion!

That would be wise.
