The girls were less than impressed. I keep no food and water in the coop, so they will eventually make their way out. At least half were out by the time I went inside. Not happy, but out!

Of course, the foragers extraordinare, aka the white leghorns, were all the way up at the top of the yard for scratch.

I made them a beet pulp/alfalfa pellets/sweet feed hot mash, but they were not impressed. Whatever, I bet its all gone by the next time I go out!

All the brooders were fine and dandy. My covering on the mesh of the big brooder shed worked well....they were well above freezing inside.



Frankie likes snow.

So does Molly

It was fun times outside this morning.

Except for the chickens.

They were not impressed.

Not impressed at all.

On a sidenote, check out how well camoflauged my white leghorn/giant mix girls are! The darkness under the snow isn't the ground....its leaves. I had piles and piles of leaves all over and you that is what you see. The white leghorn/giant girls look just like the snow/leave mixture.

Love the pictures, Nella! You can keep the snow .... I don't want any! We had just a dusting of snow, and it is pretty much gone. Today the birds came out. I think the wind is why they didn't want to come out in the past.

The pull of old pizza and quesadillas tossed off the front porch was too much for them.

LOL

Great pictures Nella. And your descriptions make them all the more fun!

Lisette and Cosette can disappear pretty fast into a snowbank themselves on account of their black and white patterns! As well as Evie and Prius. They're a prime target in the spring and summer months, but come winter, those four girls can blend in better than Scott in his best cammo in a tree stand!

I did something last night that I haven't done in nearly 3 months. I forgot to close the pop door on the big coop!

So, consequently, Chief was out there on the roost pole at the ungodly hour of 5:00am, just a cockadoodledo-ing his heart out!

I'm sure the neighbors were thrilled.

Temps are hovering around the mid 40's for daytime highs today. But by tomorrow night, we're going to be getting back to a more normal temperature for us!

Day or night, temps should be below the freezing mark! Yaaahoooo!!! No more MUD!! And they're talking about snow returning along about Thursday or so.

Oh please, Great Spirit! Please! Oh please! Oh PLEEEAASSEEE!!! Let me have my beloved snow back!!!

serrin take my snow. I give it readily.!!!!!!! I am planning a short trip and can not go if this keeps up. I want to go see my Mom and Granddaughter.
We don't have a hugh amt of snow, but the wind chill today is almost o.

The wind is merciless. Yeah for wood heaters again. I do have warmers under the hens water but it is so slippery that I go to the hen house only once a day. I call a neighbor before I go. Its quite a hill to climb. Even with the steps. I pocked my head out for a moment and heard two aspiring roos doing their crazy crows,

Well, keep safe everyone. Gloria Jean

I LOVE hearing the roosters crow. My neighbors say they like it, too. None of mine are close enough to anyone's house to really wake them up though. I can't hear them unless I go outside, or when they venture up to the house.

Cyn our place looks a little worse aka deeper than that but all white too.

The Diva has settled down in her stall and is behaving herself. She is getting visited a lot during the day and Cheyenne made a video of her on my phone but it is too large a file to email so...trying to figure out how to get it on the net to share. *sigh*

Here are some pics of her getting pats after enjoying her carrots a bit ago...

ack technology...I must figure out how to share the video because it is hysterical...she is trying to eat carrots and check out the phone at the same time. Cheyenne got a great shot of her inside her nostril. LOL

The kind you could look into all day long! I'm so glad she's with you Cetawin. You needed each other I think!
