It's possible their lives will be saved by roosting in your barn because the temps are going to be brutal again after tonight's snow. A lot of wild birds perish in this kind of weather. Hope they are some of the more "desirable" varieties. I've read of somewhere around 2 dozen bluebirds freezing to death that had packed themselves into a pipe hoping to keep warm.

Good morning! Sorry that I missed the fun last night, but my laptop started getting lines through the screen and the system seemed to be unstable suddenly. I shut off the computer and tried to restart it, and had the same lines through the screen so turned it off again. I guess it is time to take it to my computer geru and see if it is about fried.

Betsy, your suggestion that the wild birds are seeking shelter from the upcoming storm makes sense. I am getting ready to go out and do what I can to fortify every bird's situation against the cold, before I go to work today. It is much easier before it begins to snow than afterwards. I also think I will add a shovel to the warm clothing I have in my car. Of course, I think that I will "go to the house" if it starts getting bad this afternoon. Just need to get milk and I can get that this morning and put it in a cooler in the car. Later today, it will be terrible at the stores - again.

I could deal with 70 degrees outside all the time.

That is too cold in the house during the summer, but alright in the house during the winter.

You got a good deal on your darling chickens and since you are willing to walk away from them if they turn out to be roosters, you can just enjoy them until you can figure it out.

Good Morning everyone!!! LOve the pictures of the chickies!!!
I'm all ready for the weather coming in. Plan to bring work
home again today. I have to go back by the store before
I come home, it was already starting to get bad there yesterday
when I stopped. All of my birds should be ready for this incoming

there.

EVeryone have a great day!

According to Google maps it is only three hours West of you. If you can come it will be well worth the drive.

Oh yeah.....

Morning all, going in a few different directions this morning and all day probably, trying to get ready for the next round of winter storms.

One of the things I like best about POOPS is that it is very family oriented. There are special activities for the kids, including their own raffle drawing. Most of the young children and teenagers are very involved in helping and learning.
