We were due for some cold weather here. Good thing is that it's really only gonna be one day....thank goodness.
Pullets are laying good now. Eggs are small, but they will increase in size as time goes by.
Keep warm tonight, gonna feel like Winter I think.

I love short Winters and hope that's how this one turns out. It was nasty this morning, but better this afternoon.
Hoping for more nice winter weather and the feeling that it ain't so bad.
Except for chores today, I hung where it was warm. Only collected 2 pullet eggs today with the cold snap last night.

Wyo, I made 2 loaves of bread today. gave the instant yeast another try.
first rise: 1 hour, the dough quadrupled.
made loaves: second rise: 20 minutes. the dough tripled and was threatening to mushroom over the top of the bread pans.
the only thing I did differently was to use the new Dakota Maid flour..

What breeds do you have? I need one for Pixie who turned 1 in early September. I just got new tires on the back of my car after one blew between Janesville and Elkhorn on 43. It couldn't wait one week when I had an appointment scheduled. Brakes are fair but not for mountain driving *LOL* What part of Western Wisconsin are you?

I am in Amery. I have Dutch and cochin bantams, Orpingtons (chocolate, black, silver laced, gold laced, chocolate silver laced, chocolate gold laced and cuckoo), bantam crosses and some orpington crosses.
My Blue Laced Red Wyandotte from Delisha died today. I got her at the last bash I went to. I believe it was 2014. Usually they seem to live 8-10 years, so I'm not sure what happened. I didn't notice anything wrong with her, but I haven't been as attentive as usual. I have a new job and I'm gone for 12 hrs per day and don't have a whole lot of time for the animals.
Also, my parakeets had some babies and before they had even completely left the nest, the mom layed more eggs! So, I have 6 more little ones. If anyone thinks they may want some, let me know.

I'm butting in from Michigan, but originally from Wisconsin, and always a Packer fan. Yahoo!
