    Ooooo shipped eggs! Eggciting, what breeds? I have a couple dozen chicks on order, sharing an order with someone else, I will drive to pick them up about mid April. Sure hope it’s nicer weather then.

    But we are in a solar maximum at the moment, hence the splendid Auroras we experienced. Those occur approx every 11 yrs. I don’t think o can handle it any colder this winter! Hard on my old body as well as the livestock!

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    Yep not 19 anymore…. -17C now and sunny. Looks nice but darn cold still! I tromped out behind the barn to check this camera as it seems to have moved position, and holy Dinah the snow was over my boots and my fingers just about froze! Couldn’t see anything obvious with the camera, will need...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    I cannot believe I haven’t had any frozen eggs! Now that I have the heater in the Hen House it’s not so much of a worry, but I still have about 4 girls that must lay their eggs, on the floor, way back under the nest boxes - brats! Had to clean out a broken egg there today - ewwww. I’m not 19...

    Yes, old basements are a huge problem here, flooded basements and cracked foundations. In the Spring my basement sump pump pretty much runs 24/7. I have a finished basement apartment so it’s a huge worry for me. But I don’t think I have to worry for a few more weeks yet 😉

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    That's good then, I wouldn't worry if one tip is 'slightly black', and being pale just means that they are likely not laying eggs (no hormones making them red). Sweetie Pie who is moulting, has her comb and wattles which are ridiculously pale! She actually looks aweful, but I know it's just...

    Yup I noted that also - but I didn't have an email to tell the AI algorithm that it was wrong and not Hooman 😉 Darn wanna be Hooman, algorithms! Need to be re-written! (thought it was Petra for a moment - even has her white spots on it's head like she does! haha)

    What's the temperature where you are???

    Awwww so sweet! I have a bunch of lap sitters also, and head also a favourite spot to snooze haha. Mine are starting to struggle now. Although it’s way milder in the barn than outside (-8C) it’s just the constant every day cold that’s getting to my (especially) older crew. I stuck my...

    Crazy! And did you see out west? It’s Spring out there! Just crazy, I fear for a bad wildfire season. 😢

    What's the temperature where you are???

    That’s what happened last year, it went from freezing winter to scorching summer in less than a month! And stayed there until after Sept (great for me!), Autumn was lovely until Nov and then like a switch it was winter and snow!!!!! Crazy! I am wondering what this summer will bring…. Stay...

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    OMG -25C (-13F) Hate hate hate winter! This summer I am going to fully insulate the barn and have a proper heated “area” outside the actual Hen House (where they sleep at night). This way they can choose to roam the barn where it’s cold or go into the warm up area and relax. Anywhooo that’s...
