My son playing for Earl, who I think is actually a girl. What you can't see is the dog howling along in the background. How the chick can sleep through all that I don't know.

3-4 inches of wet and slippery snow in Grand Rapids. School was cancelled and I heard we've had some serious accidents this a.m.
Drive safe everyone - if you have to drive!

What does this have to do with poultry you ask? Just scientific proof that Chicken Little was a meteorologist.

It was awful this morning delivering here. I rear ended a light post. I couldn't see it cuz the stuff was coming down so hard. I ended up having to put the 4x4 on just to get traction. I couldn't believe it. Its a heavy old jeep. I have good tires, but I just kept trying to do donuts in the condos. Normally, donuts would be really good... In an empty parking lot, muddy field, for breakfast with cuppa joe...

Wow, wish I could go the the shearing event. This is our first lambing and shearing season (Romeldales), We have had 2 ewes lamb already, 2 more due in April, and the last one in May. I cannot imagine having 40 at once, but atleast you get it done and over with. We had not planned on haveing two lamb in February....but woops, fencing issue. lol

I really like Metzer's ducks, and need to order some Khacki Campbells to replace the ones I lost to weasals this winter. I need to wait until we get the issue taken care of though. We lost another 4 birds last night. 2 before 1 am.......and I found another 2 when I went out to feed. I am just devestated. We have a weasal trap out, and a live trap. I thought I had the hole in the floor patched, but I was wrong. We were lucky for so many years with predators. Just an occasional fox loss now and then. In the last 6 months I lost over 5 dozen birds. 2 dozen at the end of the fall when I forgot to shut the layer door until 10pm. 3 dozen to the weasal since Christmas.

Well the storm isn't quite as bad as predicted and I suppose I have stalled as long as I can about going outside. I need to check on the birds and then go to the drug store to replenish our cough syrup. Hope and I are doing much better and Granny feels she is over the worst of it. This has been a cold that I wouldn't have wished on my worst enemy.
