Brrrrrr! That’s darn cold - please keep it! I don’t like winter!Well, darkness is closing in and the snow has started to fly. By morning we'll have 8-12 inches of snow, but winds will be pushing it around so much, there's no way to measure it. Drifts will be massive.
The noodlenecks are locked inside with deep, deep straw to lay on, their coats are on, and they have an extra stall to sit in and complain about being locked in. They also have heated water and a radio.
The hens have to extra bales of pine shavings to stand on. All their windows are shut, and they have heated water as well and wide perches. It's currently 7'F and it's 22 in the run, and that's without sunshine. If we can get rid of the clouds with these intense cold days at least they'll be toasty and well fed the rest of the time.
Now we wait.
Windchills will be -45-52'F and normal temps Won't break above 0F until next Wednesday.
Lows will be down to -20F
