How are us Yanks?
I was corresponding with a breeder from down south, and he was shocked to hear about the ample farmland in upstate. If you cut off NYC, every conceivable space between the biggest cities (Albany, Rochester, Buffalo etc) is sprawling farmland, or mountainous Adirondack...
You got great advice! You could even move them out during the day and bring them in at night if they are potted and there’s a big temp drop in the evening.
Well, it’s -14F this morning. My heated waterer has ice crystals along the outer edge, but thankfully has the water thawed still. All sides of the run are wind blocked except the side next to the house.
Man, it’s cold! I wore multiple layers & 2 pairs of gloves to open up the coop & let them...
Yeah, dropping to -15 tonight. I hung a light blanket over the coop windows tonight to keep air circulating but block the wind a bit. Will take a 30 degree swing up to 15 tomorrow afternoon. Hope they huddle up in there tonight.
Who lays what color eggs? That’s a pretty carton!
As far as...
We will be impacted on Fri up in the north. Sucks no matter where, we’re just more prepared for it here. The bottom of my chicken run has been tarped for months, and heated waterer kicks on when temp drops below 32. Will prob leave plugged in til at least April.
That sounds so nice for the teachers. We get zero work days per month. Two 1/2 days at the end of the year for records, and creating class lists and that’s it.
It’s not fear. I don’t eat fast food for health reasons. I enjoy life quite well w homemade food. Even pick food out of the garden & eat it without washing. Gotta live dangerously sometimes! 😂
I hate cold even more than snow. We are getting it later this week supposedly. Hoping forecast changes...
Pizza is the acceptable junk food! 😂
95% of the time we make our own, but if we are running around and get stuck, I would much rather order a fresh pizza from a local place than go to order fast food.
You all are just reaffirming my choice to not buy fast food ever. It’s been about 5 years.
Imagine all the cockroach, fly, & rat contamination we’ve avoided!
Kids at my sons school were ranking fast food. KFC, McDs, Subway, Burger King, Taco Bell & Popeyes. When he told them he didn’t even...
I had Covid twice. First time super tired and cough that wouldn’t go away. Second time headache for a few days and dark circles under my eyes. Circles are still there but not as bad. Weird how side effects are so different for everyone (& even same person different each time).
