Tell me I'm being concerned without cause?

They look to be out of the draft when it counts.

l've got some still out roaming around looking for that last bug or green leaf.

It's 33° now and feels like 23°. I think it is 23° and feels like 13°.

It was 26° F and freezing rain when I put the ladies away tonight. Some frozen tail feathers, but everyone's in good spirits.

This is not unusual for January in Pennsylvania, so all the ladies were out and about eating snow. I keep replacing their water as it freezes, but I'm starting to think they prefer eating the snow.

It hasn't gotten this cold yet this winter.

My flock is in a hoop coop, flat roost out of drafts (tarps cover the top to 2'-3' above the ground). I'm hoping they'll be okay, they're 11 month old bantams.

As long as they're out of the wind I think they'll be ok.

Dried Fruits Australia warns a wet summer may mean a shortage of Australian-grown products​

Consumers are facing shortages of Australian dried fruit this year due to heavy rainfall and humidity wreaking havoc on crops amid a global drop in production.

From cheese platters to baked goods, home cooks and health-conscious consumers are driving a resurgence for the dried fruit industry.

But unfavourable weather conditions have slowed the supply worldwide for the $US10.2 billion ($15.42 billion) market.

Dried Fruits Australia chair Mark King said more imports would be needed to fill supermarket shelves amid the shortage.

"These last two years have been bad and, unless the weather clears up, it doesn't appear to be a better year," he said.

"Usually worldwide production is about 1.2 million tonnes of dried grapes, but last year there was probably only 880,000 tonnes produced."

Flooding last year meant Mr King was unable to harvest a crop from his vineyards at Pomona near the Darling River in New South Wales.

The unusual humidity has meant the situation is grim for this year's sultana season.

"A lot of [the sultanas] have split, and a lot of them have started to drop and go rotten," Mr King said.
