Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Hinotori]

We've hit 36°. Im rather surprised. Everything is still frozen solid though

We are up to 28, which suddenly feels warm.

 

[Grandmas Coop]

I got up at 5am, it was a nice 21 out, glad it was not colder. Went out at 6:20 to the coop, the water was frozen, and all the flock was down off the roost waiting for me to turn the light on, lolo , I replaced the water and scooped the frozen poop, cracked the door open just enough for them to slip in and out. The coop was 20 degrees, but I am glad we are going to warm up a bit today-- accuweather says 2pm = 36degrees
Rain due in by Wed and temps will go back up to 44 and and maybe 50 on fri.
DH got the fruit trees pruned yesterday.

Yep. I'm glad I have just one more night/morning down in the teens. Then it'll stay above freezing for a while... with rain to melt all the snow away. Snow is nice for a while, but I've had enough for this winter.

Yes! It does doesn’t it? When we’ve had enough winter to get acclimated to that temp you know we’ve had some trouble!

Good afternoon we are 32 joking it is balmy.
They did say we will be back to "normal" temps by Saturday!

 

[Hinotori]

I'll be happy to not have to do roof patrol in the silkie pens after dusk. There are several birds who prefer to sleep on top. The part silkies are the worst, but even some of the full silkies work hard to get up there. I stuff them inside if it's lower than 25°.

 

[pennyJo1960]

We have kept the silkie in their coop with this they have a dust bath in the second room of that coop.

 

[Smokerbill]

I gave the girls some green seedless grapes and some scratch grains to get them loaded up on carbs so they keep warm tonight.
