It's been warm here, but is going to rain, and drop to 46 tonight, so later this evening I'll be putting up the tarps.

We're still raining and dropping steadily into the mid-20's so tomorrow, it will be icy. I hate when it rains and the temp drops that way, but I think the day temp tomorrow will be a tad warmer. At least, the weekend is supposed to be slightly warmer and definitely drier.

I know, poor things. Most of my pens have a heat spot since most of my birds are old and/or arthritic, but not the Brahmas. And Cora is a tiny shadow of her former self, though her feathers are finally coming in nicely.

Oh, my son's almost-ex wife's fantasy world is crashing. Now, if she can just stay away two more weeks until the divorce is final. He somehow got into her phone and sent me the conversation.
Gist of it is that she’s PO'd that he hasn’t delivered on the home for her nor some other stuff she was expecting. She told him she doesn’t like it there anymore and she’s over all of it. She only has $300 to her name. He just sent her 1000 last week, her share from the sale of her SUV (that he shouldn't have sent). She’s already tired of being cramped in his parents' duplex.... and it goes on and on with some personal stuff she's very unhappy about. Yeah, we all called it, didn't we?

Poor thing, although he shouldn’t have sent the money maybe it will keep her away longer. , like two more weeks.

We are dealing with horrible air quality from the fire. It has been in the unhealthy range for a week. It has been bad.

We tried to get him to keep it all since he made all the payments on the stupid thing, but he wouldn't. We said it would be right to keep it since he lost his insurance due to her shenanigans, leaving him high and dry to run off to England and he had the hospital bill, but now, he has insurance so it's water under the bridge, I suppose.

I hate to see the news out of CA regarding the fires. Either it's fire or mudslides when the rains finally come. Stay safe!

I keep pointing over at the little local flock of pigeons stamping around under the bird feeders in the snow and saying "Look if those pigeons can be out in the snow, so can you" but so far that has not worked very well

My poor bantam EE from this spring are terrified of the snow. They are flying everywhere hysterically. They should wait until there's more than a dusting.

Chickens don't like change. It takes time for them. Everything new is a monster.

Last barn check found a bleeding Maddie. Jill is mean to her daughters and them being locked in together for days doesn't help. It was supposed to be overcast today, but it rained and misted all day long and the wind was howling and the temps began to drop in the afternoon. Tomorrow, I think they may be able to leave the barn as soon as the ice I know will be there melts.

Sorry to hear that. The only time I had pecking aggression was when I tried to keep mine in too one bitterly cold year. Now I open the door every day. Hopefully your weather improves quickly.
