Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[Wishing4Wings]

the 2-4" predicted for yesterday turned into 8", and knocked out my internet for a time. once the sky cleared, I had a signal, but no connection because the satellite dish was covered. it's up on the roof of the dining room, which is an addition, so it's just one story high, but sitting on it's stand puts the dish about 14 feet up in the air. I don't have anything long enough that is also sturdy to knock the snow off, and I wasn't about to try to set up a ladder, there is still 2 feet of unshoveled snow back there! so I suffered without my byc all day yesterday.
it's a whopping 18*, and feels like 2* with the wind chill. bringing the gang out food this morning was painful, I should have worn gloves. but that is the only part that was bothering me... my fingertips... yesterdays leftover food was frozen... and a few of the gals were nesting, so I should have some eggs later on.

I was wondering if you had lost power or something. We should make a heated satellite dish, just flip a switch and snow load slips right off. We could make millions!

Brrrrr. It is cold today...mostly the wind, there are some tourists in t shirts fishing on the lake. They are in some heavy brush, working their way around...should I tell them about what I think may be a moniter lizard living in there that's been killing coons? The culvert pipe they started on I thought a good place for gators, but what do I know?

How often do unsuspecting folks get chomped by gators down there? Or giant lizards or monster snakes? Think I would be a little paranoid myself.

This is pretty funny! This book is due out this February. It is just pictures of male models with chicks! The cover photo has a chick on his bicep. Who thinks of this stuff?

I will read posts later (I have a migraine) but I had to tell SOMEONE! I had four eggs already by 8! 2 were in the nest. Now I need to get one more by this afternoon, and I will know if I have another new layer!

AWEsome!!!! I still get all excited when new ones start to lay.
We laid

one today.

It isn't our fault mom all the chickies say!
The sun goes away and really won't stay.

We hardly leave the roost, our feathers need a boost.
Extra mealies, extra pie!! Spike smiles and fakes the peacock cry!

Until you agree, a pie a day, or 2 or 3!
We won't stop to lay but maybe one a day!

Oh dear! What does it say about me that I enlarged the picture to see if I could tell what type of chick it was?

Sorry to hear you get migraines. Nasty things. I used to get them in my younger days, but only very rarely since having kids. You'd think the opposite would be true!!!

The article about the life-saving chicken was great. Wonder if the people know about pie rewards? Although, if it was a house chicken, it's probably spoiled enough.

hahaha! I know, I never get migraines any more. Kids are grown, and i don't work as a company controller anymore.
Ya to be honest I was more impressed with the baby chick than the lil skinny guy

I like the big beefy mountain men type anyways

not that i ever look at em.. erm.. oops
