Thunder snow is like a thunderstorm but only with snow. The last time I saw it do that I was about 14. It snowed all day. We got 32 inches that time. It is the wildest thing I have ever seen. Btw. I am 47 now. So it was a while ago. Lol

OOOOHHHHH!!! We had a snow storm last year with thunder and lightening! It was so pretty! But also soooo close to my house with big trees. (If any of you folks from the East Coast have been to SLC, you will know that there are not many trees. The fact that I have some large ones makes my house a target).

wow, lots going on for everyone! Wonderful gifts, and lots of

snow. GOOOOOO Roger, don't give up, this is your first year! It will get better and Santa will understand you must have priority treatment at all times! Shoveled out the sidewalks and little spots. Cleared all the pens and houses. We got the high winds and about 8 inches. Chickens and guineas REFUSE to go outside. ducks and geese love it. Alpacas were rolling and jumping around like puppies

.the pigs, very mixed opinions...My big pig Bacon was just squeally and munching snow, my lil Roxy wouldn't come out till the food arrived. Poor baby girl, she looked cold. Hubby got a 6 foot hay bale from our farmer friend, and i sent 1 1/2 dozen eggs with him, and promises of more. I stuffed gobs of hay in all the buildings and got Roxy all snuggled in warm. What a sweet man the farmer is, he needs a wife badly. She ran off on him, years ago and he never remarried, Just sad. He is "old folk" pleasant and would give you the shirt off his back. I promised him a batch of chili for tomorrow and beef stew for the weekend. I am gonna find him a lady yet

hehehe!!!
Santa brought me a wire egg basket (yay!), heated dog bowl (chickens will get that) and warm snuggley slippers. Best present was a brand new laptop!!!!

(still no camera, but laptop nixes THAT!) My old one is 5 years old, the keyboard quit working and what a pain, ugh.

we laid

3 today!

A couple of decades ago I had the pleasure of flying through a thunder snow storm with about 28 other people. From Pitts, PA to clarksburg WV. Lots of turbulance lightning and ice on the wings. No one spoke. Not at all. We just sat and rode it out...very scary. Now that was a puddle jumper flight I won't forget. Thank God for good pilots. We were real happy to land. But hey y'all, I'm down in Florida and the weather is .....perfect. reports are chickens fne, autos are working, wind/snow breaks are good. Glad everyone had a good Christmas..me too!

A current perfect day! I just wish I didn't have to move the bedding (the nest room is pine chips) all the way down to the floor. I have about six inches in that area. Thanks to everyone scratching them in that direction to dust bathe. I have sand in the other side. They want pine. Sheesh!
My niece got a doll bed for Christmas, and the box is just right for 2 (or as many as want to stack on top of each other) hens to lay their eggs. Hopefully, they will lay them in there. I am getting worried about missing an egg or ten.

baiting the 3 nest boxes isn't getting any results. Seems I have had this problem before. LOL. Oh well. I am just really happy to have eggs. Apparently, the relatives are getting restless. They want my eggs! Okay... My chicken's eggs.

YAAAA. I got 8 eggs today. So in the last 3 day I got twenty.

Yaaaay!!! awesome perfect day! Mine like the pine too. Sounds like you need some more chicken math to keep the relatives happy! We all love the chicken math hehehe!

UGH Florida...I am so jealous right now, snow is staying but a little did melt. That must have been a scary flight

ETA: We laid

4 today!

I got 9 eggs yesterday, which would finally have been my perfect day, except that a week ago Sunday, Poppy started laying!







Now I have to get 10 eggs in one day to obtain the elusive perfect day. Only one pullet left to start laying, the half sister to this one.

We had a nice Christmas. I will update later with pics of Roger's presents. Who knew she was so generous?!

Been raining buckets here and is very soggy, but we will have a few days of sun so things can dry out a bit. Hope you all in the east are not getting too buried in the snow. The thought of needing heated water dishes sends a chill down my wimpy spine. Brrrr....
