It’s chilly tonight, -18C and clear, the moon is at a waxing gibbous phase so just coming full and it’s quite bright out there.

In the barn the chooks are in their hen houses, though Cash was a brat and wouldn’t go to bed so she got stuck in with those in Hen House B. Not so warm on there is it kiddo! No one to snuggle up to - brat! That’s her in the corner.

I have been noticing that the chicks are roosting on the edge on their nest box now and only snuggling with their mama when they get chilly. They are growing up fast! 8 weeks old now

And we got the power figured out in the barn, BIL hauled off the plate covers on the switches and all connectors where good, we traced the power line to a light fixture that we had kept in place as a ‘temporary’ junction box until we could run some other cabling to the stall run of lights last summer, the bulb had died and wasn’t completing the circuit, a new bulb solved the problem. Thanks BIL! His suggestion of ‘maybe the bulb is dead’ was correct so lights, cameras and trough de-icer now working.

So your barn is wired like a string of Christmas lights. One goes out, they all go out.

Double brrrrr on the zero kelvin!

Next week supposed to be back up above freezing point and rain - crazy weather. But I might get the chooks out for a bit in the late afternoon when I get home, last night it was just dark at 5:50pm - daylight hrs are increasing! Yay!

Can everyone except @Ponypoor see the video?

I can see the video fine and it made me chuckle.

Why is my barn jacket not hanging straight down from the kitchen chair?
It seems to be bulging out.

Because it has a guest inside it!

Yes apparently but only that one line, prior to putting the lights on the Hen House the stall lights ran from the switch but we rerouted the line to put some lights in the Hen House; uncle wants to put in a different light switch on the wall and run some sort of special cabling. That was supposed to happen this past summer but I couldn’t justify the cost at that time.

Now that I know what’s going on we will need to actually put in the line like he wanted to. But that will be a nice warm weather project.

Meanwhile I am happy to have the power back

Looks like she is planning a road trip to the mountains....I think she is pondering her accommodation options, there!
(or else...hmmm how quickly will big rooster discover that I swiped his CC again - do I have to take the trip BEFORE the next CC bill comes in so he doesn't cancel it on me????)
