Snow Today!


We have snow again today and it's been snowing all morning. When it finally stopped this afternoon we have two inches of the white stuff here. I've been out several times to clear it off the walkway, steps, patio, drive way and I broomed a path to the chicken run and around the outside of the yard. So when it starts to melt that will be cleared. We had a winter weather advisory out. I did not think much about it because I thought we were supposed to get melting temps. but that was not the case.

Our youngest grand daughter and I went out to check on the chickens give them fresh water and we scattered feed on the path that had been swept off; most the chickens were along the house under the eves except one on the nest and another in the roost did not want to deal with the cold snow I think. A couple were on patrol chasing birds off the the path getting the smaller birds to scatter.

The chickens have eaten one feeder full of feed their ration for the day so I know they are not going hungry.  We got 5 eggs today yea the most we've ever gotten so we are doing something right!
