Mornin' Hen Tymes....stayin warm here, so long as I stay in the house...lol
Only 24 degrees here (outside), so of course I had to chip ice out of the outside waterers.
All my babies dove right in to their breakfast of oatmeal, chopped pumpkin pie and string beans
Of course, no amount of cold stops the roos from their morning dances, crowing and showing off.

I'll check out the new thread---thanks

Welcome Want Less

I've spent quite a bit of time in New Bern....my parents live in Little Washington. Mom called last night to say it was snowing there.....are you getting any snow?

 

[Bat Cave Silkies]

Miss Lydia~~~are you staying warm this morning???

The wind

I can stand the cold, and the snow, etc....but that wind!! it cuts through you like a knife. Fortunately, I've gotten most of the runs completely enclosed with heavy plastic....but, of course, theres two walls I hadn't gotten to.

Frozen outside waterers again... and we've turned off the outside faucets...so I get to trudge through the house with dirty boots to refill waterers everyday now.

Good thing I don't have neighbors....I'm sure I look a site in my nightgown, sweat pants, heavy coat, beagle ears hat, gloves, and snow boots

anything for the Silkies though...

Good morning BC, Yep staying warm as long as I don't go out, We finally got enough snow for it to lay all over about 2" and more to come. I love snow but I'm with you about the wind. yuck!!! How about you did ya'll get snow? I know I look great too when going out in the morning to feed. But it's nice to be able to wear jammies when going out. no neighbors to peak out their windows. lol I have heated water buckets and heated dog waterer should look into those sure does help, but I still have to carry buckets of fresh out daily.

Went to Burnsville Christmas parade yesterday it snowed and was very pretty. well it's suppose to be 26 here today with winds up to 25 mile an hour, sounds like fun huh? we'll probably take the dogs for a walk later. We didn't get to go to Church today because of the weather. Have a great day!!

Want Less...I checked out your blog page and noticed you're looking for Black Copper Marans. One of my FB friends has a fan page for her farm and has Black Copper Marans...she's in Chatham County.

We've had snow flurries since last night Miss Lydia~~~but with this very wind, you can't see any in the yard. There MUST be a giant snowball at the end of the valley

Everyone has water "inside" their houses, so I don't really have to chip the ice in the outside waterers, just makes me feel guility if I don't.

Just had a visit from Neeley'sAshvilleChic (probably spelled it wrong), what a sweet sparkly woman she is!! Think her husband is going to have to build a new pen though....

I let her snuggle a Silkie chick

 

[Miss Lydia]

Aww that was sweet, Is she looking to get Silkies for the first time, I've only ever seen pictures of them really excited to see some in person, well in chickson. You never did say if you show yours. I would love a new coop but it's hard to build them when your property goes straight up in back. The only flat part we have left is the driveway.
