Surviving Minnesota!

30 with ice on the lake. Trying to figure out how to slowly move the older chicks outside to the new coop without making frozen chicken pops. First group is right around 3.5 to 4 weeks old.

Yikes! Do they have a heat source?

Why are the pretty ones always the jerks?

I still need to finish some stuff up in the coop on Monday. I think I'll try a heater for a couple weeks and then reduce the time it is on over the course of a month or so.

I hope you realize you are venturing into a hobby that can warp and change you forever.....


When you get closer to 100 you are going to be just like that Grumpy ol Man that posts on here now and then......and happens to live "over the hill" from the great water of Northern Mn...

Windchill is even worse today. They are saying it will be in the teens tonight for temp but not as much wind.

I didn't get anything done yesterday between a FB playoff game, which we won 44-0. And then stopping at a neighbors. It was so cold I don't know what I would have done!
I am thinking today I will fully clean out the whites cages. The cockerel gets so dirty so easily, and he is the messiest bird ever. I am maybe selling him after Knoxville since he does have willow on the top of his feet, due to his blue background. I am wanting to keep the pullet but I am not sure, she also has willow on the tops of her feet but you can use females with that. Testing has been a pain in terms of scheduling.... we had a day figured out where I would come to the clinic and I told the testing agent a vet needed to be present to do a CVI. I called that morning just to make sure and she said it wouldn't work because a vet wasn't available. So she set me up an appt the 16th, which I know realize I don't have school on the 18 or 19 so I will have to call tomorrow and see if I can reschedule. This winter I will have to get my rear in gear and get NPIP certified because finding the time in the fall is awful. I wish teens could be liscensed testers...
