Beautiful polishes.. Your whites are my favorite~ I used to have a flock of polishes as well, But had a bit of a problem with raccoons so now all I have are white crested blacks.. I plan on getting more polishes this spring for breeding purposes. Yours are so pretty!

hows the cold weather treating your flock?

Well, it is quite tough for the non-feather-legged or single combed breeds, but I find little ways to cheer them up. For example, in the winter you can give them corn for warmth (avoiding it in the summertime) so I make them cornbread now... And I have an oil burner so for two hours when I am out there working, I run it and the shut it off at night. It gives them a bit of a boost for laying eggs and moving more. And lastly I will open the "curtains" it the coop to let in some sun if there is any. There are many ways to take the load off the flock I the winter. How are yours doing in the cold?

At first it was ok but when the water started to freeze in the heated bowl along with lots of snow.I decided to make a temp coop in my basement..now they are nice and toasty and very little for me to worry about.. I guess I could do that because my flock is so small for now.. lol
