EIGHT

EIGHT.....Today We Laid EIGHT Eggs.

Our Butts Are Frozen
We Can't Feel Our Feet
But We Gave Our Dad
Eight Eggs To Eat

mine are bemoaning the weather too Roger... but I found 8 (Dome) Eggs already! it's 5* but feels like -6*... although it seemed colder down in the village than it does here, it's not as windy up on the hill, which is really unusual. I took empty feed bags and hung them and stuffed them all around the few gaps in the Bachelor Pen to hopefully keep it a bit warmer this round... still the white rooster has frostbite... but the rest are looking much better. I have to get back out in a few (I've got to get the feeling back in my fingertips!) I have treats and the Bachelor Pens waterers both had ice forming, I put my boot through them, but I will bring them fresh. hopefully I can get a few cute pics...

It is getting colder here too and it is starting to spit snow..... they sent the kids home at 1 and they are driving me crazy. Lol. I have been getting 7-9 eggs a day. 9 so far today. Hoping for another double digits day soon. I have 14 possible layers including the 3 new hens. I guess it will take them a little bit to settle in and resume laying. I fed everyone and threw out some extra scratch. I also put more bedding in the coops. I think we will be fine.

On a gross note..... Ratchet had a dead rabbit this morning. Ugh... I didn't think I was ever going to get it away from him. Yucky!

Oh and I saw the huskies again early this morning. Then a few hours later I saw animal control going up the hill. Wonder if someone else has called about them too?

sounds like someone else did complain lindz! I hope those knuckleheads get the message! my 3 adult female cats used to take down rabbits, so many, that the colony moved away. there is a huge warren in my backyard, entrances under various pine trees, the furthest one is about 40 feet away from the next... I saw one distinctly patterned rabbit go in on one side and pop up later under the 40' distant tree... the cottontails had bred with the pet rabbits up the road, and we had some great colors... now that Min Min is the only girl left, the rabbits have come back, actually, 2 days after Pearl passed, I saw 2 rabbits in the yard... I bet you had your hands full getting Ratchet to give it up! my cats would growl so fiercely at me...

I found 1 more egg this afternoon for a total of 9, all from the dome. and they were climbing on the treat bucket! I tried to fill a bowl from the top of Peach's kennel nest and I had birds up there too! 2 of them stayed perched when I moved the bowl back to the ground... guess they called 'dibs'! and I can already feel the difference since I put the feed bags up... good.

I have to share this Epic Fail... but hey... she squatted for him

I take it from her position... that she doesn't know he's not up there anymore....

but then she gave his ego another boost by giving that big fluffy "after" shake...

Yancy's expression makes me laugh...

Hey can you open the stupid door and free us prisoners. We would like to get outside for a while.

My bad. It is 18 degrees and the temp is falling rapidly. Six inches of new snow and still snowing. Wind is blowing from 20 to 30 miles per hour. The wind driven snow has buried your run with snow. I can hear you screaming bloody murder. I will be right out. I'm sure you want to soak up some frostbite today

So tell me Roger......Did you enjoy your time outdoors today?
