double, that might work well for me, if you want to sell a few in March.

I'm sure I'll have something to sell in March I just can't promise it will be these chicks. I'm hoping to sell 90% of them in the next week or so. I'm always hatching more though.

No snow on my end...just lots of gusty wind and rain...as if we NEEDED more of that junk!! My run is a swamp, my yard around my lawn is a moat and it's mush everywhere in between!! I would really like a few days of say 70 degree weather to just dry us out!! I seriously saw the ducks drinking from the mud puddles IN the run...I was rather disgusted with it...LOL Once the hubby comes back from being out of town, I think I will need to get him to bring a load of straw or something to put down in the run!!

I hope everyone is warm, safe & dry (chicks included). Have a great night. I'm off to fold diapers and maybe kill time watching something on PBS called Downtown Abby... it's a British show with some Scottish accents...I don't know what it's about, but I am ALL game...LOL

Same here in Franklin County.. I threw a whole bunch of straw in the run today to try and cut down on some of the muddy slush that it is. The chickens stay right out in it. They have under the coop which is dry and inside and they rather be out in the rain. Crazy chicks!! Stay warm and have a great night all !!

We lived in the U.P. for a few years, to include that year that Lake Superior froze over completely in the 80's That was one cold winter!! My job moved us here in the late 80's, and I DO NOT miss the snow all that much

Quote: YES!!! It so hard to clean up later,

Do not let it dry out before you clean it out. Did you know that chick poo is a good glue when it dries out

Not a single flake of snow. Kind of disappointed, but I am REALLY happy we are supposed to be DRY for a week. Winter temps will be back, but it will be DRY.
