I can't imagine living in the North....

sorry, but I live in south Georgia, and I think it's cold when it's below 60 degrees. My animals all seem to share my thoughts. Today, I had to kick on the air conditioner when it got a muggy 75 degrees INSIDE!!! We do get a little winter, sometime it will hit a devastating 30 degrees for a night or two!!!!! So My heart goes out for all you northerners and your animals!!!

Thank you for your thoughts. It's awful cold, but we persist anyway.
It's murder to put up wire fence for chooks, though. Ugh. Murder.
So cold....

Do NOT tell my chickens that there are places that do not get snow in winter....They will pack up their little chicken suitcases and hitch a ride south!!!!!

I will send you pics when we are in the heart of winter.. we are supposed to get down to -15 deg, C by the end of the week

It just hurts my heart to imagine so many folk in so many hardships throughout the whole winter. I find myself wishing you could ALL come down here to my farm for a winter's break. My hubby says "I can't save the world", but between you and me, I think we can do an awful lot!

A balmy 58F here in North Georgia tonight....thats cold enough for my liking....

cold and rainy over the weekend (in the upper 30s, low 40s) and we had a fire in the fireplace all weekend. Yup.....I'm a wimp and proud of it!!

PS - so are my chickens

I have a good friend there in Cartersville, Scott Allen at Petit Creek farm. Do you know this farm?

Our summers are better here in the N. Ga. Mtns than down below "the gnat line".

and we only get a little snow all winter, not like living in Ohio, Colorado and Utah where we used to live while in the AF. I admire Mrs. AK Bird Brain, keeping chickens in Alaska. Never would I do that if I lived where it was below zero for weeks on end! Hats off to you, Tori! Still, I do better in cool weather than in hot weather. I need a place that's between 50 and 70 all year long.
