The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[KF0002]

On an extremely positive note, the chicks produced from the other Buff rooster over the iBTR pullet are all yellow legged. No green legged birds from him, thank God. I have one more batch of eggs due to hatch on the 9th, then I will turn the incubator off for a bit, giving me time to clear out the brooders and allow the weather to get warmer.

A couple of mine have now started to lay, but I will wait until the egg's get a little bigger before I do any hatching from them.

Yesterday we were negative 10 in the morning, with a -23 windchill. I felt bad but kept the chickens locked in the tarped run. Today at least it was exactly 0 when I went to feed them. I threw some hay outside the tarped run door and left it open. Almost no wind, and I’m sure it felt a lot warmer this morning. This week high is around 20s. Next weekend it is dipping into the negatives again, with a high of 8 on Sat. I HATE these temps, especially when they come after 3 feet of snow (it doesn’t melt).

Hopefully this is the worst of it. I would kill for a 35 degree daytime temp.

It's 75 over here right now.

I'd rather have it at 75F, then in the summer at 116F or more.

I think I MIGHT rather have 115 than -15….

You'd roast from not being used to it, just like I would freeze up there in those winter's.

We haven't had -15° and I hope we never do. I think -4° has been our lowest actual temp. Have had several -15° -20° wind chills and those suck. None of my cloths combat those temps well.
I'd take the 115°, maybe. Depends on the real feel. Once we're over 100° here our humidity adds another 10° to 15° for the real feel.
I found it so odd when another member from Arizona would say their 110° real feel was like 100° because of lack of humidity.
I looked into once and it said our humidity made hot feel hotter and cold feel colder. That ain't cool at all.

If I had the money I would move there!
