Yes, I'm in the mountains. It has been an extremely mild winter so far! I was looking forward to more snow, but oh well

Lol The only time I look forward to snow is if there was previous snow and now it is all muddy and ugly and I just want new snow to cover it all up. However, I'd be even happier with it all melting and some green grass coming out. We did get one snowfall of about 10" last month that lasted two days and I'm okay with that being it.

I hatched out some babies on Tuesday and last night they spent the night in the outdoor brooder/mini coop with the MHP. I was a bit nervous since usually I only hatch and brood in summer. It was a mild night and only got to the low 40s though, and they were happy and quiet all night. I had the baby monitor on just in case lol.

We recently moved from Texas back to Ky, and it really ticked DH off that, where we were in Texas previously got more snow this winter than our new home.

Lol I would be relieved. I lived in southern Indiana for a while. Now that was some snow. I really liked it up there but white ground and white sky for months was depressing.

Well, DH is from slightly upper Wisconsin, and I'm of Nordic heritage, so we both are snowbirds. Missed it entirely too much for 7 years while in West Texas. Everything there was brown, so even grass and trees look(ed) new and fresh to us when we moved here.

Still over excited about raising puff butts. And a garden. Never could get anything to grow in Texas!

I'm getting prepared to take home about 4 chics soon. Would you think that the 12x15 heating pad for the cave would be big enough for all of them?

Didja miss me? Probably not!

So many friendly and helpful people have this MHP thing down to a science and I never worry about questions going unanswered if I'm not here!

I saw some good advice about this thread on another thread - I think it was @Merrymouse - recommended that folks start at the end and work their way back because of how the method has evolved. In the beginning @azygous predicted that this would be a long lived, active thread for sometime to come....boy, was she right!

Keep those chick pictures coming....I'm skipping chicks this year <gasp, shudder> so I have live vicariously through all of you!
