Hush your mush, Sour! I'll be the bigger person, this time, and pretend you didn't say that. We do NOT need more white stuff on top of this mess.

-1C let the gang out a bit, but the wind is chilly. Yesterday was a better day for them outside, no wind and it was +1C.

But some of them did go out on Mount Poopmore

Hmmmm I seem to remember someone wanting snow ‘like we used to get’.



Was it everything you remembered?

Yep they are wimps!

Too be fair, I have 3 Roos - Mr P my elderly polish was out there on and off, but with 45 hens he’s all over the place!

Mr Little Chicken my OEGB bantam is terrible in the cold weather, he spends the whole winter shivering poor wee fella, and Clyde is my Frizzle Silkie, he also is not winter hardy. His feathers are more stringy hair like.

So it all falls on me in the cold weather to watch out for eagles, hawks and owls. Not too worried about fox and coyotes - the snow is over 2’ deep in the paddocks and they would have a hard time getting anywhere fast.

Also need to keep any eye out for the silly horses, they get running and can hurt the chooks - as it is I dropped a hay bale on a couple last Sunday. Brats ran under the bale just as I dropped it from the loft.

Nope - This winter's mess has not been "real snow like we used to get" by any comparison! It's a solid sheet of glazed ice that, even two weeks later and after three days of sunny melting, is still four inches thick and virtually unbreakable. Nice, fluffy snow covering up this icy mess would be positively treacherous. This stuff is CRAZY. And DANGEROUS. And I'M DONE!
