@JD4570, congratulations on the job score!

Yeah, I hear ya Cap. My original flock brooded in my utility room. Dander everywhere. This room I'm using used to be the office for the cabinet shop that operated where our attached shop is so it has a nice sunny western exposure and usually is very toasty warm. NOTHING is toasty warm right now but improving. I remember the first time we looked at the farm, we walked into the office and there was a chicken sitting on top of the countertop that was there at the time. Owner left the door open and this hen had wandered in much to their collie's disapproval. Dog went to herd the chicken out of the office and chaos ensued. I thought to myself .....Home!

I let the birds out this morning for the first time in a week. They were thrilled and are out enjoying the sun and what few snowfree spots that are available in their run. Hopefully the last of the snow will disappear over the next two days.

I just bought 2 pitchforks and 2 hoes for $25! Loving that!

No offense taken. I realize I was out of line but I was cold and tired and it made sense at the time. I would have set myself on fire if I thought it would be beneficial long term.
Finally warm. Don't feel great but don't feel like death.

Got my latest quilt all finished. Hope to gift it tomorrow. Spent 4 hours tonight doing the binding.

You eat lots of worms??

Well if the chickens eat worms and she eats the chicken, isn't she just cutting out the "middle man"?

wow, already up to 18F this morning, and here I thought it would be another cold day.

We made 16°F today.
