Pretty gray here today as well. But I saw robins on the lawn, 2 Canada Geese stopped in the pond behind the barn for a short time last evening and there are red-wing blackbirds. Must be spring is coming!!

The coon I trapped last year went in for the layer pellets. Didn't even know I had a coon around, I was "hunting" @#$%^ woodchucks. Glad the coon went in though or I bet I would have lost chickens.
Man I'm about ready to paint myself purple, stand on a hill and swing a dead chicken over my head if it would get rid of this grey nasty sloppy cold weather we are experiencing and get on with spring.
I told DH this is why I seldom complain other than saying 'Gee it's hot outside' when the temp goes to 90. Much preferable to what we are experincing here.
80% of the snow we had on Sunday is gone leaving behind muck with occasional mounds of snow. Just went out and gave the chickens fresh water and let them out. They ran to the snow instead and started eating it like snow cones....right next to the water bowl.
Sometimes I think Buff Orpingtons are just plain mentally ill.
On a bright note, one forecast for Sunday says rain changing to snow or snow changing to rain, can't remember which and the other says 2-6 inches of snow.
I hope the first one is correct. At least rain washes away the snow. But we are back to being grey skies with no sun here also.

break up
We had the midwest rendition of break up here one year. We had an early thaw, the rivers all flooded, then we had a sudden freeze that left 5-6 inches on ice on the flooded rivers which were over their banks in places. When the water level started to drop it left these piled slabs of thick ice everywhere. It was really pretty cool to see.
My chickens do that and they aren't BOs. I've also seen the alpacas eating snow when their water bucket is full. I guess some animals just like their's "natural".
well late up but need to have the guys move the money
