How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[GC-Raptor]

Just shoveled my way to coop, glad my coop is only 25' from steps of rear deck.
At 5am no snow, no wind, temp 31F, scattered scratch on ground. 10am over a foot of snow

24F and windy.

Yesterday was 55F and mostly sunny. Chickens in coop and tell me to close the door, when I checked for eggs. Will not even venture out under coop. For the first time I had to scatter scratch grains in the coop. I gave them 2 scoops, double the usual amount, hopefully to prevent boredom. Up to 20" of snow expected. When I was shoveling around the coop, I heard Thunder, yes we are experiencing Thundersnow. First time I experienced it outside, it rolled on for 10 to 15 seconds, Amazing.
5/5 today. GC

I don't blame your chickens, I don't want snow either. I should be happy with our 40° with 50 mph gusts

Wednesday




Chicken eggs 5, the crows were out in force and the bob cats are all over as I just put one down .

Thanks Gander, unfortunately, he will not get better. He has congestive heart failure, 2 leaky heart valves ( & not healthy enough to survive the surgery), failing kidneys & liver & low blood pressure. We've all been told that he doesn't have long to live ( but we don't know if that is 6 hours; 6 weeks or 6 months). In the hospital he had been on a medicine ( dobutamine) that was really helping him ( as far as quality of live & comfort level) unfortunately, you can't go home on the medicine. They took him off that IV Thursday morning at 6AM. He's not back to as bad as he was, but he is already feeling like he can't breath ( fluid on the lungs from leaky heart valves) and is uncomfortable, weaker, not eating as much as the day before....He is also going in & out of lucid states ( has been most of the time he's been in the hospital, 4 days). I believe the hospital is planning on sending him to skilled nursing on hospice and letting nature take her course. He'll be 87 on the 17th of Feb. I've been fortunate in that I have been able to spend 3 of the last 4 days up at the hospital with him, calming him down when he is confused & agitated & otherwise just being there with him.

13 eggs today
