It amazes me that these chicks are so smutty at first, but feather out completely white!

Wow. My white ones started glaringly white. So cute!

I had 8 drownded rats yesterday so they got to spend the night in the laundry room. The coop is open except I have covered all the sides in plastic so no wind gets in I have a large plastic pallet turned up side down with shavings on it so they don't have to sleep on the wet ground. I did put a 60 watt lamp in there with them and will take it out next week when its supposed to be in the 60's. (Crazy weather of the South.)

Yeah it's going to be in the teens to low 20's tonight so I wanted to make sure all of them were at least mostly dry! A lot of my LF have wet tails, so I took a towel out there and rubbed them down, and I brought the wet silkies in and blowdried them. I found a leak in my coop roof this morning

and of course Nikolai my new Russian orloff was sleeping RIGHT underneath it... At least it should only snow from here on out, hopefully... I hate rain...

Well I should have the healthiest chooks going. They do such a good job on the pony poo, it looks like it's been through a sifter.

See what I mean crazy weather. That's our forecast too... I went out to do my evening check and everyone is fine the only one under the light was my Sizzle. When I changed the feed out she jumped up and bullied her way to it. I will go out after dark and make sure they are sleeping on the shavings instead of the ground.

Hilarious. Would you call that recycling?
