Important Lesson learned

[Ktribe808]

It is bitter cold here, a wind chill of -10F. The girls have a water fount heater inside their coop, but I learned the hard way you cannot use ACV with a metal fount so I got a new one when the old one started to rust. So I have a plastic water fount in their attached outside pen, that I have wrapped in greenhouse film.



The greenhouse film along with a microwavable heating pad (it looks like a fat frisbee) keeps the outside water thawed during the day and I add ACV to that one.

SO I was juggling the heated microwave pad, the plastic fount, a gallon of water spiked with ACV and a bag of greens and sunflower seeds when I spied a freshly laid egg. With the lack of hands, I quickly stuffed the egg in my coat pocket. DO NOT DO THIS! The coat is in the washer as I write this!

And the egg was not frozen...lucky you

HA! The pocket scramble.

I've done it more than once.

Me too, I've made more pocket omelets than I'd like to admit. And, I once collected eggs (wearing my husbands coat) and left an egg in the pocket so long the insides completely dried up. I gathered eggs in the winter and then wore the coat the next winter and found the egg when I stuck my hand in the pocket. It never smelled, but still, that's pretty bad

Pocket scramble, pocket omelet, that's funny stuff! My Hubby did that to himself a few weeks ago

I'll have to tell him there's a name for that! (shhh, I've done it too and not telling him that)
