I know the panic mode. Normally I don't plant until memorial day due to my garden being in the bottom of a kettle, 10 degree difference up by the house to down by the garden. This year its been so warm and the soil temp was right I planted 2 weeks early. Keeping my fingers crossed we stay mild.

Everything but the peppers looked fine, hope they are not stunted now. Peppers were a little wilted in the morning but perked up by the end of the day.

Looked out the window at the chicken run to see a light layer of frost on the roof :he the garden is right next to it and I didn't cover last night due to the weather person saying we will be 10 degrees warmer than the night before.

The pic with 2 chickens I think are pullets the other not sure.

Took covers off that I put on incase of frost. No frost 👍 down to 38F.

Watching the ground dry, over 7" of rain this month. Things are growing good and now chance of frost tonight. :he

Don't always think clipped wing feathers will keep them grounded. About 35 years ago I took my macaw outside (feathers on one wing cut) it was a bit breezy and he caught the wind and flew up in a tree. The next flight he made it about 50 yards into a 2' tall hay field where I caught up with him.

Large Racoons have no problem killing a turkey, I have caught Racoon close to 35 lbs.

I say pullet from her posture.

Looks like coon hair to me.

Barnevelder and the R. red look like cockerels to me.

No clue. :(

Sorry for your loss and destruction, might be time to add a bear skin rug to your home. :D

We are 56F now after 90 yesterday.

Took the container covers and rocks that held them down off the young plants. We had heavy storms last night, didn't get the large hail but did have heavy rain and 50 to 70 mph winds. Still windy this morning at 30 mph.
