Morning All,
Today I am not putting it off any more, I am giving both the coops a good cleaning. Hopefully the chickens will go out in the run for a few while I scoop poop. If not they will have to stay out of my way. I am always worried I will get pecked in the eye after what happened to miss jayne!

BTW-I learned that you can change the size of screen by holding ctrl, shift and the + or - everyone probably already knows this, but I thought it was neat.

Make it a great day!

i did sleep in a little. i got a new Union Suit and it was too toasty to get up!

there was a new layer today in my big coop!

a little white egg. woo hoooo! it may be a six egg day.

isn't it beautiful outside? sparkly white with 6 inches of new, light & fluffy snow, sun painting gold on all of the trees. and a slow trickle of snow falling.

That is a waaay cool coop there Opa. Sure is clean and easy to keep so.

Yeah, me and the other ole fella get up with the chickens.

I sure hope we can all get together sometime.....it would be fun.

I was wondering if that chicken swap that some of you went to at the Charlotte fairgrounds parking area was gonna happen again this year?

If so, that would be another good opportunity to meet up.....course we'd need to have a way of identifying ourselves from all the others.

So Steve tell me about your heat is the corn stove in the basement or in an out building?

I have a 165,000 BTU corn furnace in the basement. It hooked right into existing ductwork from my propane furnace. I only had to run a class A chimney out from the basement. I grow corn so the 250 bushel/year I use to heat my house comes from my income, but I was paying 2400-2600.00/year 3 years ago to buy propane. That 250 bushel of corn, even if it were 4.00/bushel (1,000.00) is still a minimum savings of 1400.00/year. Bear in mind propane has gone up since I last used it, so my savings is even greater. Thus the savings will after this season, paid for my furnace initial expense and hookup.
