Howdy folks! I just got caught up. It's still snowing and blowing here in Tulsa - wet stuff and roads are frozen. By Tuesday it's supposed to be back up near 70 degrees.
I'm so glad Doc and Peaches elected to open the Fletcher auction and so many people got to go have fun, visit and buy/sell chickens.
Faerie - you are so talented! Cleaning is over-rated - anyone can do that. Knitting is so much more creative...and useful in this weather - you can't throw a dustpan around your neck and be fashionably warm!
I had to break into my chicken coop this morning - needed to check the inside waterer since the girls are too prissy to get out into the six inches of snow in the run to reach the outdoor waterer. The latch to the coop door was frozen shut with a layer of ice. I tried to get into the garage to get the handy 3 pound sledge to knock it open, but the garage door is swelled shut and the door opener to the electric car door is in my car inside the garage. So I went back into the house, got a hammer and got into the coop. Now I have to figure out how to get into the garage - the brooder box with the bantams is in there and I need to make sure they're okay with food and water. Jack has another garage door opener to my garage so if I can talk him into getting out and coming over I'll be able to check the peeps. My house/garage is 100 years old this year, and like the fine old vintage lady she is, she often becomes persnickety without notice about the most random things, and she must be treated carefully and with kindness. But I love her and figure if I take care of her she'll continue to take care of me.
Okla-Doodle Wayne!! Are you planning to come to POOPS? (say yes!!)
Matt - so glad you'll be there - and with birds!
