1 egg-Sammi on nest-After torrid rains that slapped us around for 2 days, things are finally calm, but cloudy. I removed the tarp from the south side of the run, in hopes of drying out the interior a bit. Flock wants out and Martha and Flower escaped and were none to pleased to be brought back. The solution will come in the spring, when we have time to figure out why there’s a water problem, for now they seem to be ok. Coop’s nice and dry whenever they want a rest from the mud.

Last day of Feb. I hope that March is kind to us

4 eggs AM- The morning was much warmer, and things have begun to melt. Another pending storm on the horizon makes this news of warmer weather fluff in the big down pillow. Flock is happy, broccoli and bread for treats and I cleaned out the coop, which I had been piling it up in the corner during the cold snap, mostly because the compost bin was full and the cold wasn’t allowing it to do what compost does.  Along with nice clean digs, the girls got a fresh coat of Sweet PDZ. What is Sweet PDZ you ask? The most awesome stuff on the planet! No, but really it is “Horse Stall Refreshener”

Here’s a coupon!

I also use it in my cat box and anywhere there is animal “smell” Makes the animals happy and you happy too!

3 Eggs AM-Yesterday we had lots of flurries but nothing added up to much, had a wonderful day at my friend Katie’s looking at her art and eating fresh fruits and bread, and muffins, while listening to her ipod mix. Left around 3pm and the weather was still flurries and wet roads. This morning I awoke to another winter wonderland of sparkling snow sticking to every branch and twig. Beautiful. Flock seems happy but want OUT!  I want out too. Rumor of yet another storm pending this week.

4 eggs AM-Another storm this weekend, but thankfully missed us by a hair. A wet slushy mess we are left with but I hear it’s supposed to start snowing again later today. Broccoli , butternut squash on the menu. Flock is happy but wants out. Sure wish things would start melting soon!

4 Eggs AM-Another weekend storm bears down on us, and I hope to put up some sort of barrier to keep the snow out of the coop. At very least a foot predicted. ick. Icy conditions around the coop still. I laid some hay down on top of it for traction. Bread as a treat, going to the store later and will find some things. Flock looks happy and frisky.

4 eggs AM-The morning sun and bright sky fooled me as I went out to feed and water the flock. The rain from yesterday has left a coating of ice on everything and I almost fell 3 times. The treats were minimal this morning just corn. I was hoping to let them free range today, but it colder than I anticipated and also the icy conditions might make it hard to catch them.

3 Eggs AM-The weather has warmed ever so slightly, and it’s not quite as bitter. Flock seems very happy, the coop run is drying out and I look forward to some melting snow so I can let them out and free range again. I dropped one of the eggs, cracked but not broken, oops. Cornbread, hotdog rolls, a piece of broccoli and some butternut squash on the menu.

4 Eggs AM-Like last storm today is a fabulous day! Cobalt blue skies and warm sunshine. The wind doesn’t want to quit, but mother nature is as sick of winter as we are. Flock seems happy, treats of old hotdog rolls, cornbread and a slice of butternut squash. I read the seeds are a good natural wormer. I sure hope the snow melts soon so we can start looking for the snow drops and the early bloomers. 

3 Eggs AM-Yet more snow on Sunday morning, bitter and windy. Flock was chatty enjoying stale bread, couple pieces of broccoli for the suet feeder so they can nibble, and corn. I think some sort of shutter system around the back side of the coop run to keep the snow from getting in would work. Maybe I can find some free stuff this spring as people remodel.

0 Eggs am-Valentine’s Day has come and gone, the weather feels good with another weekend storm possible this weekend. Flock is happy, but I haven’t had time to buy new treats, so they are just getting their layer feed. The coop and run need a major cleaning, it’s holding up well, and kinda of glad we had this horrible weather to see where to make changes in it this year.

Rohan loves walking on the snow, he really thinks he’s special.

Heading over to my friend’s for coffee and maybe a walk. It’s still quite icy out.
