Good morning! It's going to be in the 30s and sunny here today! That means the ducks are able to get some outside bathing time! Yay!

We're having a snap freeze today, going from about the freezing point to -18 within a few hours overnight.

Wind is gusting and there are weather warnings out. I let the birds out a bit later and they still prefer to stay in the coops. They'll be given extra bedding to help with the drastic temperature change.

Happy February! Going to be -9°F tonight!

Ladybug's been laying an egg every other day since Sunday, but I'd be surprised if I get any eggs today. Still no brown eggs in the boxes, but I'm expecting to get some soon because some of the Brahmas have pretty red combs.

Brrrr!!

It won't be that cold here, but 20 mph winds are making it unpleasant to be outside, even though it's 32 degrees.

One of my Brahma just started laying. I know they mature later, but wow, she's almost 9 months old!

Wow. When was she hatched? My first Brahma to lay was 6 months old.

May 2024. Winter probably had a lot to do with it, although they're supposed to be got winter layers. Probably not their first winter, though!

they're supposed to be got winter layers.

Yeah, I read that about them too. Mine are definitely not! Not gonna lie, I've been disappointed with the Brahmas. I still love them though, because they are chickens.

They are by far my sweetest chickens, followed closely by the Cochin bantams.

Planted the first seeds of 2025 today (indoors, of course). Peppers, eggplant, and leeks!
