Looks like we have 3-4 hummers hanging around right now, at least one will come down and buzz me whenever I go to swap out feeders. I've been swapping feeders every 2 hours or so (the thawing feeders are sitting in our boot tray) but there's enough sunlight right now that I think they'll stay mostly liquid the rest of the day.

Chickens once again didn't want to come out of the coop (9 of 10 were still roosting when I went to check on them) but once I kicked them out they're mostly staying out. I threw down two 30 gal bags of dried leaves for them to busy themselves with, and for a drier surface to stand on. Fermented feed is a bust right now, it's freezing solid, so they're getting dry pellets in lieu of their usual breakfast of FF. Heated waterer is working great so that's no issue.

For us humans, we just finished eating the last of the Christmas Eve extravaganza (I made enough for 8-9 people) and I bought extra groceries last week so we should be good until middle or end of next week.

Yeah we need to keep an eye on the dog food, but we should have enough for at least 2-3 weeks so that should be fine. Biggest dog is very sensitive to food changes so mainly need to make sure we have enough of whatever she's eating.

Chicken feed, we stocked up a bit 2 weeks ago in anticipation of winter weather (as feed store is a lot further out), so we're good on that until maybe late Feb or March.
