Thank youHappy birthday
I feel like i been "surviving Minnesota" here lately. Wind chills of -5 today.
I'm 2 degrees warmer. No mail Friday but they made it Saturday. Lots of frost quakes and trees are cracking too.-15 and -38 wind chill. On a positive note there are no flies, skeeters or snakes out today. No mail Friday or Saturday and garbage not picked up due tom the weather.
Well, I live in northern Minnesota. Our local weather has forecasted actual temperatures of -16F tonight and expected cold weather like that for the next 5 days. If we get any wind with that, the wind chill temps will be around -30F or worse. It's not the coldest temps I have been through, but it's still darn cold.
The chickens seem to be doing well in their unheated coop. I am giving them extra cracked corn a couple times a day. I read/heard that cracked corn heats them up and helps them through the cold temps. I have never lost a chicken in cold weather, but this year I have one older hen that never got all her feathers back after a molt. I don't think she can keep herself warm by herself anymore. I see her huddling up with other chickens to keep herself warm.
I do have a metal heater base for my waterer, so they have fresh water at about 40F available 24/7. I think that helps a lot, especially in this cold weather.
Yeah but You northies signed up for that kind of weather. I did not!-15 and -38 wind chill. On a positive note there are no flies, skeeters or snakes out today. No mail Friday or Saturday and garbage not picked up due tom the weather.
