It was 21 in Houston, Texas, last night. That is in the city, too, and it is always warmer than the surrounding area. Yesterday when it was so cold and overcast all day long the girls just came out and seemed very down - just stood around looking moody. They are much happier today with the sun out. They are sunning themselves trying to catch the little heat available. Poor darlings are little greenhouse flowers!
Surprisingly some are still laying. Australorp, 4-5/week, Orloff 4-5/week and Barnevelder 2/week, maybe a Delaware and/or a SLWyandotte in there occasionally, Spec Sussex maybe 3-4/week. EE and Brabanter have gone into hard molts and look miserable, Splash Maran seems to have quit.
