Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

Cars in the ditch all over as they fly down the icy roads here.  slow down you will still get there eventually. DS is chomping at the bit to help pull them out, not until your schoolwork is done for the day bud. Of course, there's ZERO traction, might not even be able to.

Just went to the store, freezing rain here

Hey friends... Anyone know if Michigan TSCs are still getting their chicks from Townline? I asked when I was there and they didn't know...(?)

I just picked up two pure white bantam chicks (clean legs, def not silkies) from there and I can't seem to figure out what they are based on Townlines bantam breeds - I was wondering if they are getting them from somewhere else now. I couldn't resist the mystery chisks. lol

i called and asked Townline and Privett. From what ive heard this year they only have Assorted Ducks, Assorted Bantam, Assorted Pullet, and straight run....so good luck to anyone buying them i guess....everyone gets to play guess the breed.

Apprently anything out of the assorted bantam pen with leg fuzz is either cochin, silkie, brahma, sultan, or duccle.

That's my thinking. It takes a lot longer to wait in the ditch for a tow truck than it does to actually get to your destination even at ten miles an hour.
I have the same philosophy on speeding - sit twenty minutes waiting for them to write you a ticket and you've lost the advantage that extra 15 mph got you

Of course that may be just a factor of maturity (okay, middle age). I honestly don't get why people are in such a hurry to do most anything.

Freezing rain here....coop path slick as snot, sand spreading took care of that.
Luckily it's warm enough for salt to work on the roads, and the air is warm enough it's not sticking to run mesh, trees...or power lines!

5 inches of snow here and then the freezing drizzle. The ducks are LOVING it! They would rather play in the rain than sit in snow. This weather is awesome and very soon I'll be tapping trees, boiling sap, and watching my goats give birth. Spring is almost here and I can smell it!!!!!

I got a good coating of glazed ice all over my coop, and I kind of like it there over the plastic. probably make the coop a little warmer on the inside.

Oh and yeah, brush your cars off and get all of the ice off of it. can't tell you how many times today I saw some big hunk of snow and ice come flying off of a vehicle today.

Shortly after noon I decided that the forecasted rain was going to turn the 4-5 inches of new snow into a substantial mess. Since the stiches are out of my arm are out I decided that if I did everything slowly I could probably run the snow blower. Before I had barely thought about it David had the thing out and running. I did do a little shoveling but he handled everything else. I am a lucky man to have such wonderful sons.
