Surviving Minnesota!

Is it drafty? The birds are way tougher than we are. They will do fine. I try to keep the doors and vents on same side. not always though, some times things just don;t work right around here..

I have tried to block them out of the rafters in the back of the coop where I get moisture build up now and then. That seems to work. If I did that in the front I would have ticked of birds and be hitting my head on the roosts more than I do now.

No drafts that I can find so far. Once we get everything finished up I think they're gonna be nice and snug in there. I was a little worried since there's only 4 of them right now and the coop is a little large but then again so are the chickens.

I caught a SLW practicing in a nest this morning. I love their combs and also Coppers. Don't have to think about the pain that those frozen combs. Also a BO laid an egg this morning. Its been over two months since that happened.

I have noticed a complete lack of trash talk regarding the birdshow this weekend...I am disappointed.

This has to change!

Before it does I have to say, there is a possibility the PC cockerel Knothead could wrongly be picked as the winner over Knucklehead..... I now some people near Foley think knothead is better. I will admit when cleaned up Knothead is a nice looking bird, and there is an 80% chance the judge will pick wrongly....like the Foley people did.. I of course pick Knucklehead. Other than his weird toes, crunched feet and too red of color he is the way better bird....



Holm I am ready to have my cockerel put your cull in his place!!!

Cream legbar wise, I am nit as confident of my first pick as I was. I am finding faults in him.

Not all my Birds will be trimmed and have finishing touches on them. I call those my "Jerry Finishing"...If he can win by just grabbing a bird I can too!

Why don't you catch her? you may need some ACV as well.

You mean she contemplated that there was a big hole there and then fell into it? Or did she backup and b4 she even fell? This communication could be urinating! I just don't understand!
