Got you beat. -14 on my way in to work this morning. We have had frozen fog all day yesterday and today. Hopefully the temps come up a bit tomorrow. Hard to fly when we have snow falling every day.Cute chick pictures.
Arielle, I'm not sure what to say, except I'm sorry.
Negative 8ish here this morning. My showgirl was outside walking around like it wasn't nippy. She's such a trooper.

Frozen fog? Seriously? I've never heard of it and am trying to picture what that would be like but I guess it makes sense.
You can have that prize!
We're supposed to be a whopping 25 tomorrow. That's shorts weather.
I was a very luck dork last night and today! When I come home with feed, the flock knows it and I get surrounded by "starving" poultry as I unload the bags. Obviously I fill all the feeders before removing the other bags from the car and storing them in their garbage cans. If I don't do the Feed Them Now thing right away, most of the flock will follow me, clamoring for sustenance.
If I don't come home with feed, I they still gather round just to see what I did bring home. I can then walk back down the driveway to close the drive gates.
Uhhh... I forgot to close the gates yesterday afternoon after unloading the feed. Got up late this morning and there it was, wiiiide open. No wand'ring birds, but can you imagine if loose dogs had been trolling the neighborhood!?!?! Or a real predator slunk onto the property during the night???
Madge the young Tom turkey followed me down to the gate when I closed it.
Maybe I need more post-a-notes to remind me of this simple task.

gryeyes, it gets worse each year. I have reached the point where I can't remember where I put the post-a-notes.
Last week I brewed a cup of coffee with the one cup coffee maker without putting a cup to receive the coffee. Kitchen floor got a good cleaning. Then there was the day I overflowed the sink. Two nights ago I never latched the gate on one of my dog pens after feeding. the next morning when I went out to water Berta Brown was looking out of the pen with a happy smile on her face. Why she didn't go off hunting??? Got lucky. Let me rephrase that: "I was a very lucky OLD dork."
I put a grilled cheese sandwich on the stove (in a pan, at least) two nights ago and then promptly forgot about it until the house started filling with smoke.
I know it gets worse, too.

I had never heard of frozen fog before moving to Utah. Even all the years I lived up in Maine, never had frozen fog. Frozen fog looks like someone sprinkled glitter in the air (not heavily, just a light sprinkle). It is a very light snow (all day long in Utah apparently). It does make the trees look really pretty becasue all the branches are covered with hoar frost. When I said that to DH the other day, I immediately spelled out h-o-a-r so that he wouldn't get the two terms mixed up.
DiDi, it's saying it is only 1 degree now.
I just had to put a chicken down. My Miss Piggy. That, was hard. She was not doing well at all. Losing weight. Never really came out of the moult real well. She wasn't eating like she used to..thus the name Miss Piggy, used to..a lot! Just stayed in the coop..so I went to put her up on a roost, because she hasn't been able to jump up for a long time. I could not believe what I was feeling. That breast bone was waay out there, no meat what so ever. Brought her in and looked, bare, and very red. She was just fading away. I've been watching her the last few days, knowing in the back of my mind what I should do for her. I loved that silly bird. My leghorn. What a sweetheart. Always coming around me, would squat for me. Was always kind to newbies put in. My husband really liked her too, heck, all of the kids too. They won't be happy when they hear Miss Piggy is gone.
She was real good at begging at the door, she would click her
nails on the metal part on the bottom of the doorway. This is her
last summer. This cold weather! Harder on some of the chickens
thank others. My NN isn't liking it too well..stays in the coop except
to come out and see what I have for a treat, or food.
