Trying not to wake Diva.

How cold is it at your house this morning ?

Not positive since the weather channel, my kindle and my outside thermometer don't agree.

The outdoor thermometer says 10°. I think it is the accurate one.

I am a bit worried as it also says 88% humidity. That is very high for us.
Still an hour til sunrise.

Oh dang. Brrrr! I hope you aren’t about to get a snow storm.

Nope no snow coming. Maybe late next week.

The birds have been fine so far in the weather.

Tilly has those delicate baby paws so after just a few minutes comes in limping from cold feet.
Of course that means footie rubs.

Good morning @Redhead Rae
And
@FlyingNunFarm , I hope you guys wake up feeling better today.

Good morning! I am feeling somewhat better today. My throat isn’t really sore. We are going to try to make it to church today, if only just for the service.

Good morning! It's a balmy 19 here this morning. A little bit of snow expected today ......only a couple inches

Good morning peeps.
Up with the animals.
I’ve tried to show them the different days of the week but haven’t made much progress
@Anansi i don’t know how this Home construction mess hasn’t driven you crazy yet.
I am really sorry that of all the places these taters could have chosen to build their dream house, it was right next to you.

Darn @pitbullmomma , sorry I missed ya!

Morning guys!

It's sunny but cold out, 21 degrees. Brrr. I am so ready for spring! Last weekend I went to Home Depot and bought a few houseplants just for some green.

I rehomed one of my cockerels (they're starting to fight) wiith the guy two houses down. So far he seems to be getting along great with his hens, I'm so glad! Now I have to find a home for one more cockerel, Tio, and I should be good.

I put him on Craigslist, but the only responses I got were from people who don't know jack about chickens and either (I think) just want to eat him, fight him, or do Santeria with him. I've had two people so far that when I said "Tell me about your flock" they were like, "I don't have one, I'm just starting out." With a rooster. Yeah, right. One guy said he thought it would be a good pet for his kid, lol. Next!

It's hard to find a home for roosters. I guess that's the downside of hatching your own. Both times I hatched I got more boys than girls.

I'll relist hm back on BYC (again!) and the NJ boards and see if anyone bites...

@Suzi18, I probably said this already, but thanks for the suggestion for the Cozy Coop heater!! It's wonderful. My Seramas love it. They all stand it front of it on top of the nestboxes at night like they're watching TV (i looks like a flatscreen TV for chickens) and no more frostbite since. Winner!

Which is why I eat them, to get something back out of the feed.

However I know that isn't your point of raising them

 

[pitbullmomma]

Not my thang, but you eat up!!!

I just wanna find a decent home for him. He's a good boy.
