HAVE YOU SEEN THE 10 DAY FORECAST..........

We had some rain on Wednesday and my snow path started to melt. It was horrible going up and down the hill. My ankles kept giving out and sliding into the 18 inches of snow.

I was so happy when it froze and became solid again!

Spring is in the air, my cat caught herself a chipmonk!
 
who could use a laugh? I have 8 20 week old chickens in my dinning room at the moment because its just been too cold to let them outside. 2 of which will be butchered this weekend. Well woke up this morning to 2 escaped chickens LOL Belle, my silkie mix usually escapes every morning. she lives perching on top of enclosure. There is no arguing with her. There is a gap on the top fence I use as a lid so I use a baby gate to block that. Well that doesn't stop her! She jumps into it until the baby gate falls off. Then hops out and perches on top. Well this morning was the first morning our rooster that we are keeping, Olaf, a silkie mix got out. He was scared. He was in the living room hiding by the computer desk. Good thing out cat is scared of them and our dogs are chicken friendly!!

you could put a frying pan out and see if they deliver..

all jokes aside my hubby is very tolerant of the chickens but I think 20 week old getting loose in the house would send him over the top.

I was told even with the warmer temps they can't go outside. because they are kept at 70* so it'ss be 30-40* change during the day and about 40-50* change at night? I wish they could go outside!

This makes me feel better about my two groups of peeps, 3 almost three week old LF and 5 almost two week old bantams being brooded in the sunroom. I prefer to have them in the garage, but it is just too cold yet. Besides, running the heat lamp and an EcoGlo20 brooder helps heat the house at no extra cost.
