Cold, windy, and rainy here today. Yesterday we had our annual Superbowl party for the first time since 2020. Our party's been shrinking over the years and only 2 people this year... but hubby went all out anyway. One friends an animal lover so hubby asked me to give him a tour of the beasties. He said "you have a lot of chickens"
. Yup, not a lot of variety here anymore.
I put wind blocks up for my bird runs a couple of days ago and have been going out after bed to make sure everyones sheltered for sleeping. Supposed to drop down in the 20's tonight. That's not really cold, but at the same time it is. We're used to higher temps then that and the sudden drop is still hard on the birds. So I took all the roosts out of the run area and made sure everyone slept in the coops.
Today I'll have to cover a bunch of plants. This year's the first time I've thought to myself, maybe I should stick to only plants that handle the cold without blankets. I get attached to plants too though so probably not.
