@Sally PB i’ll keep my eyes peeled for blue australorps! Meyer Hatchery out of Polk Ohio carries Blue Australorps and will mail an order as few as 3. I might take a road trip to their farm as they are allowing pick up as well.

Sunrise is spectacular this morning and we are getting above freezing today. I am not even sure what to do with myself Enjoy the day everyone!

It is nice to see the sun!
Not sure I'm looking forward to the thaw tho....
....could mean flooding/icing on the stead and frostbite in the coop.

Today is a toasty 32 degrees, about 2" of snow fell overnight. All the paved areas which have been cleared of snow are drying out. Spring is in the air!

Temp was 34 when I got up. Down to 32 now. The mudroom roof swept most of itself of accumulated snow. I shoveled that stuff off the walk. The snowbank by the walk is getting pretty high now!

We got less than half inch of icy slush.
Temp dipped here to between 8 and 2, on it's way up now tho.
Clumps and piles are definitely shrinking.

What a beautiful day! Looks like more sunny days are in our future!

One of my ladies was especially vocal this morning and I thought she might be having a cheery day enjoying the sunshine, singing her egg song. I went out to collect the eggs for the day and found this gargantuan egg in the nest box!! It weighs 3 1/2 oz!! Her eggs are on average 2 1/4 - 2 3/8oz. I would have been singing that loud too if I laid something that big!

the other 2 eggs are 2 1/4.
Hope everyone is enjoying the that and not dealing with any water issues.

Yes, very up lifting!!

Piles are reducing fast....seems to be more evaporation than melting,
which is great IMO, no flooding issues as of yet.
