Things are really coloring up in the mountains, leaf color will be peak in my area this weekend.

my red maples are peak already and starting to lose their leaves. i'm at about 1800', though. i don't think the hills have been this colourful in years.

Yeah, we're about 1400', and we're past peak - especially on the mountains. Still beautiful, though.

Do you have any trouble with your birds when the temp drops to 20-30 below?

this is my first winter with chickens, so we'll see. my coop is insulated (well, except for the door, which i really need to do over the coming weekend!!), so i'm hoping they'll do well. i'm considering a heating base for my double wall fount, but i'm going to see if it freezes before i invest.

Hello, I'm new to this site. I'm a native Vermonter. And have had chickens and hatched and raised them for about 25 years. I live in southern Vermont. I currently have 12. Youngest ones are about one year old.
