Only 21°F over night but it isn't sunrise yet! The wind picked back up yesterday evening, 16mph steady and gusts of 23mph. I'm so ready for Thursday's temps.

Ugh, predator struck yesterday and last night. Lost the cochin rooster and the d'Uccles during the morning after I went to work. Didn't find the d'Uccles body at all and the cochin was beheaded. Head was eaten.

This morning at 4am I went out to check on everything and something opened the one coop door and 3 Phoenix hens are missing. No feathers anywhere and no one else was missing. What ever is getting them is not eating on the spot and is not killing everything.

Talked to brother and I'm ordering cam equipment w/ activity alerts. Also getting him shotgun shells because he's the one up most nights till late.

I'm going to find out what it is and it's going to be delt with.

Pretty sure it's a coon, living on borrowed time.

Ouch. It's 11° this morning, both windchill and true temperature. I put out fresh water and added some scratch to their feed. My fingers are burning and I'm ready for a hot beverage.
