My Cookies and Chips are has been now. I thought I would haul the feed in buckets instead of starting the 4 wheeler or truck.....Big Mistake..

We usually go to my dads parents ranch back in Fairfield for Christmas day, but due to the storm we are going there tomorrow. First time in my whole life we've not been at my grandparents on Christmas Day. It will definitely be different, no sledding, or checking cows, building forts or having snowball fights.
My sisters were drug into a Christmas play at the church, it is at 4. I am hoping we aren't leaving til around 10 so I can get some hay in the coop and have everything filled.

Hello all you crazy Minnesota Chickeners!
Lots of family stuff has been going on and just couldn't catch up and join back in over the last few weeks.
I hope you are all doing well and your birds are too.
I just want to take a moment now to say Happy Holidays to you all and may your New Year bring good health and good hatches!

Merry Christmas @Minniechickmama been thinking about you and I hope evrerything is going ok! Miss you around here!


BTC, look at this, they make our Cozy legs flat panel heaters for chicken coops now! I think they must have read our thread!

Cozy Coop flat panel heater.

Cluckies isn't that something?! Price is about $15 more dollars than what I paid for the 150 watt. Granted this is 50 more watt. It looks nice. I like my silver 150 though. It works.

Hey new to the site and fellow Minnesotant. I haven't gotten my chicks yet and am actually curious where are the best places to get chicks here in Minnesota. I work at Tractor Supply Co but our location is up in the air if we get chickens in and I don't know what breeds we will get. I am mostly looking for egg layers. I am also getting some Polish and silkies down the line from breeders.

Welcome to BYC LadyVictorian

We have got a slight snow right now. We should get 15+ inches between today and tomorrow. I still have to go take care of the chickens.

Good Morning and welcome to BYC..

I happen to know where you can get chicks and some Polish.

I have them! We are close too. Do you work in the TSC in Cambridge?

I am just outside of Zimmerman. Of course this would depend on my lazy slackers deciding to lay eggs. I have some eggs in the incubator now but there are more toad (meat) eggs than layers or cool birds in there. My first hatch or two are from myself and another person on here whose daughter shows birds. Just not having any luck on the egg laying this year. Last year at this time I had a nearly full incubator at this time, this year I have a partial tray full.

You might have to see Kloppers for egg layers he has all mine that were laying eggs I think, stupid birds! Erilibrd took the other three that knew how to lay eggs. I have even tried giving them pep talks. That did not work,

I took the head off a bird last week to scare them into laying, that did not work. Torture is all I have left to try.

Merry Christmas Jerry,, How long a trip is it?

We are headed to our daughters in Duluth shortly.
