Jim, I know they can take a bath at any temp. It's just that it's ME who has to fill the buckets in the house (IF the water lines are not frozen), carry them across half the yard and fill the kiddie pools. And with having about 60-65 waterfowl to bathe it is a skating rink, no matter what u do...

Morning everyone! And I'm gonna add my congrats and happy birthdays (even though they're late by now) as well! Not much new here besides yet another (working) pellet stove, lots of lost sleep, a trip to Minocqua with sclark to pick up some chickens and ducks from CL. He said he supposedly had...

lol. We got the stove still brand new on the pallet, manual and pipes with it. I got all the info, but the manual is not very well written in how to set it up the way we want it and it's our first time ever having to operate/owning one. Plus, we got some spare parts with it too (different burn...

Brrr morning to everyone! A "toasty" -9 with windchill of -28 here right now. Not too thrilled to go outside and do chores but someone's gotta do it. Went to Hutchinson swap yesterday. Came into town and NOT A SINGLE SIGN!!! Anywhere, but right after you found the fairgrounds tucked in behind...

Brrrr. Still way too cold up here. Never made it to the positives today, but even in the sunshine stayed around -6 (at its "warmest"!). Now we're already at -14 again and a lot of night to go yet. Gonna be another colder one than they forecasted! Warmest is supposed to be Friday at +21!!! Before...

Freezing morning all... Was only supposed to go down to -8 last night but now, at almost 9am, we still have -15 with a wind chill of -28!!! Brrrr. All worried out my babies so heading back a day earlier. And sure glad we got at least a bit of warmth for them during the night! Gosh I'm gonna be...

First, I rarely use my horn when it comes to roundabouts. I know there are terrified and scared people out there who rarely know if they should get into that weird new thing or rather stop and turn around to avoid it altogether. BUT, even I had to learn it, while trying to figure out how to...

Snowflakey morning everybody! I don't know but I think round about a are FUUUN! Well, but I also grew up with them, so even a 3- or 4lane round about doesn't scare me. It's more the people that can't decide if they should let other drivers in or take their right-of-way while crawling with...

Good snowy morning all! All is back to the usual normal here, dog recovered and starting to eat solid foods again (including stuff he can find in the fire pit), the chickens hide in the barn and the ducks quack away, still giving me a dozen a day, while the geese patrol the driveway. No eggs...

Sorry to hear bout Ur duckies bl4! I know it would make me angry to find any of my birds killed like that. And when you're ready for new duckies, or hatching eggs, you can always let me know...!

BBP, I will be going to the pullorum tester seminar in Hancock, along with sclark. Finally will get to meet another BYCer in the flesh! Showed a chilly and breezy -14 around 8am. Brrr but at least it's gonna go up a bit again for a few days. Just don't want it to linger longer than needed...

Cold day everybody. Didn't get any snow, just a few lost flakes trying to tumble down. Still plenty of frozen/icy snow on the ground tho. Brat is here so the guys zap continuously thru the channels (we all are not into football at all here) to at least watch something. I know my nephew is...

Morning everyone! Finished the breeder pens this weekend, got all the ducks separated and he can even keep it straight! Now just making he gives the right dishes to the correct pens.... Nothing else out of the ordinary here. Besides that we got about an inch of snow this early morning which...

Wow 6 hours and no new posts? Did anyone drug Jims coffee this morning? Or is everyone out simply enjoying the still warm mornings? Awfully quiet I'm saying...

Evening all! Hope everyone is enjoying the warm up, as I see it's supposed to go down mid next week again. Urgh! Not happy bout that, but I guess it's still winter and definitely better than in May (like last year!)! Sorry bout the Pom, just glad it was over fast and not as severe as could have...

Morning all! Been very busy this morning so far. Watered and fed everyone, let them out, got the eggs, smashed the ice on the kiddie pools, took care of the dogs, set up a pen and separated my khaki pair. Also brought in a few armfuls of fire sticks (can't call that stuff firewood really). Now...

Freezing morning all! Yup it's almost noon and still showing -8 here while up north it is 0?! Not getting that one... SO was out most of Saturday and Sunday to cut the wood sticks (sold as "slabs" but still only sticks) for fire wood. I kept telling him all summer and fall to get fire wood or...

Good freezing morning everybody! Was stuck at the hospital after an appointment on Wednesday as my positive battery terminal connector broke off and I needed someone to just jump the car to get to the auto store for a replacement. If you remember, it was blowing and wind chills of around -35f...

Freakin cold morning everyone! The deep freeze is upon us (just like last Jan? I hope not!) and it is awfully quiet outside. Everyone is too cold to even quack or make a peep. Even the geese are refusing to get out of their cubby! Yup, more car troubles for me, what else?! The CV keeps...

Evening everyone! Yup, road trip is over and since the water spigot was froze again today I filled the small kiddie pool carrying buckets. While the guys had to start changing oil right there also. I told em to watch for the birds, but the geese were faster and took a nose dip. So off to...
