Granny's gone and done it again

[Cynthia12]

Good Morning Granny Land. It's a ridiculous 29° here this morning still. It was 28° after a low of what could have been 25° according to the forecast last evening.

22 here. Will get up to 35 then down to 15 tonight.

It's supposed to get up to 49 here today. I'm planning on getting out there this afternoon and change the straw in the coop floors this afternoon. I love a clean coop!

Tomorrow it will rain and they'll spend all day inside again. They really are getting wimpy about the rain. lol

I think we will feed and water again at about 2:30-3:30. Sunny and hopefully 50+.

The larger grow light is up. Love it. It's going to cover 288 seedling plants just fine. If I wanted to I could actually cover 332 seedlings by using a row on the table and not in a tray. I may do that and get buy with just one light burning. Save some kilowatts.

I'm a little concerned about Granny. It'll soon be noon for her and not a peep out of her yet today.

Hopefully they are all snoozing

I don't have chickens any more, but like you, loved a clean coop. I had a small , sturdy one my husband built for me. It still stands! Thinking the folks that just bought our home will have chickens.
Like I posted the other day, I heard a chicken song and have been hearing them in this neighborhood. Love it.

Maybe she went to the dr, ER, somewhere for her leg. Took Tom too. ?
And/or. .She's going to be busy with Tom too.

My husband built 4 coops for me over the years. For the first 4 or 5 years I kept thinking I needed something a little bigger, or an additional one, etc. Well, there was one year when he was traveling a lot that I needed a little coop to grow out some chicks and bought a small prefab one. It is still standing, barely, but provides interest in the run for them.

We now have one main coop that is very large, a walk in, and the bachelor pad coop and another small A-frame, plus the prefab. The original one he made has been given to a neighbor. It is still in great shape. So many coops has worked well for us over the years when we needed to separate a mom and her chicks, or a sick hen, etc.

You would think I have a lot of chickens, but I don't, I have 13 hens and 2 roosters. Right now one rooster, avatar pic, is separated in the bachelor pad, but he hangs out at the fence line with the hens. The most chickens I have had was 20, and I hope to get back to that number again this year. If I do I might be able to bring Cooper, the separated rooster, back into the flock. I have a lot of old ladies that don't lay, but get to live out their lives here. It's a happy flock.

Love the chicken songs. Happy you have them around you. Would you ever have chickens again?
