Well, Michiganders. Looks like we're supposed to get some sun again today. Yesterday was such a nice afternoon. I could certainly stand a repeat. Just waiting for the sun to come up so I can get out there and start morning chores. Hoping the litter of pigs we had farrowed yesterday morning fared the cold night alright with their mama. It's cold out there with a good, solid frost on everything.
Speaking of daylight, it's beginning to get to that point where it's a bit of a struggle to get nighttime chores done before dark so I need to wrap up the fall prep to hopefully make it a bit easier. Last night we filled that last water trough by flashlight in the pitch black. DH has a great little headlamp that makes it not so bad, but I do prefer to do my work by the light of day when possible.
On the ISAs, if you go back through the Michigan Thread archives Keyt has said on a number of occasions that she thinks ISAs are "stupid". One reason I remember specifically is that her's preferred to stay in the run, rather than going into the coop on their own at night. I think there were other reasons, too. But that was one I remember off the top of my head.
Personally, we've always been pleased with our ISAs. Vigorous, hardy, adaptable, consistent egg-a-day gals. Couldn't ask for more.
