Hello and welcome Alan & Tina!

here's to higher temps, All!

Went out and checked the the girls are none were frozen to the roost. Actually the temperature is 34 in the coop. They were out in the run a little while ago but now it's snowing and they've gone back in side. Monday is looking like a much better day. 22 and sunny.

I'm so jealous of those of you with no wind!

The wind here this morning is just horrendous...the worst it's been all week. I bundle up very well when I go out, but this morning is the FIRST time I've gotten cold this week while I've been out doing chores.

The weather says that it's going to begin warming up tonight into the 20's.

That sounds heavenly at this point. I don't think me nor the livestock could bear another week of this.

Thanks for the "warm" welcome everyone! We've got warmer weather coming -- eventually. I can't wait to get out and build some wooden things, like a chicken coop or two!

Welcome Alan and Tina

I'm just down M-50 a bit from you. My brothers graduated from Lake-O and had mom and dad not sold the farm and moved me into a different school district I would have graduated there as well...class of "76"

Chickflick I have some BBO's spoken for from MissPrissy, but I am looking for some more to fill the bator up a bit....whacha got?

I really thought today would be warmer but it isn't. Kid ended up not going ice fishing....said it was too cold when he got there....duh.

Hey Steve....had to get rid of my roosters cuz of mean neighbor.

So no fertile eggs here. Sorry. My coop was 17degrees. Frozen egg yesterday. It's a little warmer out there today, by 3 degrees. I hate winter!! It's snowing and blowing. I'm staying in and scrubbing my grout. Any one want to help?

 

[Daycare Mom]

I got all the housework inside done and now I am thinking I should head out and scoop up frozen poop and put more fresh bedding down. Maybe I can get DH to help....

He is not a huge fan of my pets. He does really enjoy the eggs...I think that means he has to help, right? Maybe I can put it off until tomorrow, it well be warmer then for sure.

Wow this thread is sooo long I
don't even know if I posted on here before.
I'm about 25 miles north of Grand Rapids.

Freezin' my wattles off these days.

Sheesh...3 months of hard core winter is really getting to me. I started going to the tanner a couple weeks ago just to get some bright, warm rays on my skin.
Feel like I have PMS all the time but that well dried up a long time ago if you know what I mean.
Its going to be one looooong winter my friends.
