Hello All & Welcome Newcomers!

I'm in the process of integrating the 7 week old chicklets & their mama back into the flock. They've been free ranging together without too much issue. I'm in the process of making some hides so they can escape from the big girls if they need to. Anyone have a suggestion on what size hole I should make so the big girls can't get in?

Make it smaller than you think. You can always make it bigger, but you can't as easily make it smaller.

Nice Doo, Dow Girl. Looks kind of like me, when I forget to brush it after a shower. But it's reverse of my salt and pepper.

Got snow? First flakes here.

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Yup. Not a happy camper. I like to have all my outdoor season end chores done before the snow flies. I still have one garden to pull up.

I was just finishing putting plastic on the hoop coop ends when those flakes fell. I still have lots of outdoor chores too, but this week looks warmer. The nipple waterers all froze yesterday at 22 degrees. Now everyone is back to heated dog dishes, even though it is supposed to warm up later in the week. I didn't want to deal with frozen buckets on a work morning, so I'm glad I made the switch. 18 this morning.

We bought an Uncle Henry's this weekend. There's a guy in Levant selling marsh hay for $3/bale. If I wasn't planning to switch over to BTE, I'd be snapping up 20 bales for my garden. Let me know if any one wants his number.
