I don't know, but we'll probably find out today...

Don't work too hard Monty - check in later!

I don't know either but I am hoping that there will be enough water for mine to last until this crazy wind stops blowing. So glad I spent the time adding more hay & filling all the water's yesterday when I got home!

***side note, I just finished baking 4 loafs of bread! It turned out great, having warm bread with butter is the best!

Al come back & let us know you didn't blow away or freeze adding a new post to the line.

Too bad the Muskogee Turnpike is closed and I can't get out of the driveway...would head over to your place and hang out!

I hope you will do that sometime when the weather is better!

Finally braved it and tromped through 2 ft drifts to the coop. It's cold and blowing hard, but luckily we're getting the powdery dry stuff. DS didn't close the pop door last night

. Everyone looked okay, but they haven't ventured out. Switched the light timer over to steady on since they're probably just hanging out inside all day. Only one of my watering cups was iced up.

TY! Cookie tin heater. Freed it real quick, gathered eggs and waded back inside. Started beans last night for venison chili today, wood and pellet stoves are going full blast.


I feel for you all getting the heavy wet stuff.

Make sure you acclimate her back to the cold first or you will have a sick chicken, it is best to "warm them" slowly if possible and get them out of the wind and into a non-heated but protected area to thaw, I had one this morning the same way, put her in a carrier full of dry hay and inside the barn out of the wind and I think she will be fine, get some warmth from her own body from the inside out and then some food and water in her, will go check on her and everyone else a few times today!!!
