Well it looks like it's time to bust out the heated water dishes, everything was frozen solid this morning

You must be further north.. My outside house plants are still alive

@holm25 I see your article on cattle and chickens made the BYC facebook feed! Awesome!

That's nothing to be afraid to ask! I am just getting to the point where I am decently 'ahead' with my egg selling income when I compare it to feed costs but then again I have infrastructure to pay off after that do big picture I'm probably still in the red, but ask me if that bothers me . As more and more pullets start laying here things are getting better and better.

I enjoy it and they are paying for their own food! But that is just a bonus. I would keep the girls around even if they weren't

Next year I am going to explore selling a few broilers too

My thermometer is lying to me this morning. 28 degrees. No way it is that cold today,

I am feeling sorry for a couple of my creamettes. They were inside the CX's brooder/tractor last night and did not want to come out. So I locked them in there, they were forced to sit on the ground all night and not roost in this cold.

I have decided to spend the day here and head to Togo tomorrow.

I had one turkey that refused to come off the peak of the coop last night. I hope he froze his snood! Little *******.

Coffee tastes better on these cold mornings. I may need 6-8 cups today.

Everyone have a good day. I have to look harder at Scandiafowls questions, they look hard and tricky to me.

What beautiful country you are in. And no wonder you are frozen. What does your backyard look like?

Foxy I half expected frozen waterers this morning too but both were liquid yet.

Since it's the middle of the night and I'm awake I thought a Minnesota BYC ice breaker is in order. Putting a person behind the avatar?
