Granny's gone and done it again

Coops are all locked down for the night. I've started separating the rooster coop of 12. I want to keep only 5 of them as boys that we raised from pet hens and roosters we lost from multiple reasons. Predator got their pop and I think their mom ate a some poison berries. Sadly we lost all of the hens daughters early I thing to coccidiosis.
 
:eek: wait, roast beast AND roast chicken? In the same crock pot? Yer killing me! Can't do beef here any more but man, I'm salivating here!
Yeah, I don't eat beef and DH doesn't like chicken so beef goes on the bottom then a layer of aluminum foil, then the chicken. They occupy their own little compartments along with carrots and everything turns out perfect.
 
Bears! oh my.. lol You will need to build fort Knox Star.
I hope you can brood the ducks outside and you will need to either keep them away from the chickens or re-home/eat the drakes.
Picked breeds that came sexed. Why I don’t have muscovies on my list. We have a little coop in the backyard that seems pretty stout and has power going to it. Think I’ll use that as a brooder/grow out and figure out a way to keep messy guckies and chickies separate. I’ve already got ideas.
Hi everybody.

Got 6 inches of snow here and blowing wind. Current temp 13 degrees. I keep reminding myself that we moved here from western IL because of the milder winters.

Just put on snow boots, two pairs of sweat pants, a heavy sweat shirt, a hooded Sherpa lined sweat jacket, two pairs of gloves and a stocking cap and went out to check on the birds and fill their treat bowl with cracked corn and sunflower seeds.

It's still snowing to beat the band. DH has plowed paths with the tractor and I had a nice drift in front of the coop door that I had to kick through.

What is it about chickens that they LOVE to peck the snow of your boots but they will frankly commit suicide before you can get them to walk through an inch of snow?

Hope everyone is staying warm. Unless you aren't digging out from this winter storm and are lucky enough to live somewhere where it never snows, then, hope you are staying cool.....and then I think I hate you...... :lau Just kidding of course, I just want to pummel you with snow balls.
Girl I have done my time in the lands of snow and ice don’t you be chucking snowballs at me! ;)
 
Yeah but I needed the exercise and carrying two five pound bags of apples, 10 pounds of All Trumps Flour, a flat of yogurt, a 5 pound bag of oatmeal and various odds and ends home up and down hills helped me burn off the cookies I ate over Christmas.
What is all trumps flour
