Surviving Minnesota!

I wonder if there is a bar in that deer stand serving Shirley Temples and Kiddie Cocktails for you Holm...or OJ/7ups? That's right that's your cocktail. With a little slice of orange on the side no doubt.

I have chickens free ranging on white stuff in the great white tundra that is my home. The lake is out. It is time to start spring people. Who didn't get the memo?
What a Godforsaken state. Sometimes. I swear.

I guess it helps keep out the riff-raff.

You need to move down here to the banana belt. Its sooooo much warmer - LOL

The red zip tie is to keep them from pecking each other. It grabs their attention and they peck at it. I did it as a diversion and it worked, so now I keep them there.

They still peck at each others toes and beaks, like chicks do, but the tie does help keep them busy.

The spring comes in the waterer from Gun Dog.

I knew there was a reason!

Phew. Cleaned out the coop and the run today. Glad its done. Took out my brooder no. 1 - its plastic and the two clb were in it in the run. Now they have the coop with a brooder light to stay warm still - its gets chilly at night and they are 7 or 8 weeks old and 30's I feel is a little too chilly at night yet. I am thinking that at 50 the rest will go out to the coop, with the brooder light at night.

Tom was upset and the girls just wanted a nesting box to lay in. So all is fine again, everyone is back where they should be and happy - pretty much.

A ginger feathered boy has been watching me through this living room window for the last half hour. Hello tootsie. Do you know who your food and treat lady is? I'm being stalked. He's handsome and he knows it. Bugger.

Does he know humans dont consider it normal to sit and watch people through windows?

I tried the wing feather sexing method . Seems pretty difficult . Not enough growth on most at 2 days . Down hides the feathers on mine .

He knows who the softie is holm. Lol. He has me wrapped around his Tootsie toes.

Interesting to know on the feather sexing Jerry. Are you going to look again tomorrow?
