Quite true. She should know that October is the month of hopes---and November is the month when they're dashed. Every year it seems as if maybe we won't get a bad winter, until we do.I have seen some of your interactions with her. What I want to ask her is, how long has she lived there? Because if she's been there for any length of time, she should know that just because it's "warm" in October, winter is coming, and it's going to be cold. Being that far north, even an average winter would likely be too cold for 9 week old chicks to be without heat.
Whew! I feel so much better now. Thanks for letting me get that out of my system!
