I have a rack of bananas hanging. I don't want a freeze this year. These bananas just flowered so are no where near ripe.

I think it's been 3 years since homegrown bananas.

Stay warm and hope for a green Christmas!

It's time to think about meat bird orders. My buddy wants to raise a few this spring and we need new blood for the layer flock.

This means I need to fix the chicken tractor/broody mobile to raise chicks. One hen usually goes broody over New Years. I wonder if she will this year.

Got down to 32 this morning but the waterers weren't frozen and the chickens all seem fine. I sealed up some drafts in the coop (kept plenty of ventilation) but didn't cover the run at all. Figured if they get cold, they can go into coop. I worry more about the summer heat than the cold.

We got our first freeze last night, weather said a low of 35F (we run a few degrees lower) but woke up to the thermometer saying 25F!

My flock finally started going to bed this week. I guess they just needed it to be "cold". 63F and rainy was bad enough for them not to stay on their covered outdoor perch. I think the nights and mornings that got down into the 30s and 40s was enough to slow down their egg production, but that's quite alright by me. We've got 8 dozen in the fridge, another dozen on the counter and still eating quite a few every day. Probably gonna feed them some eggs for the extra protein again this weekend.

Mine finally don't use the trees to roost in and go back in the coops. I have one OEGB hen that likes it under the tarp on her pen. She goes there so I'll pick her up and cuddle her before putting her on the roost bar.
