Frostbite!

January 22, 2013 - Author: Fallen sky - No Comments

To say it is cold out is an understatement!  It takes no more than 10 minutes to feed and water the flock, but even that was too much for my lightly gloved hands! As I went to look for eggs I could feel my finger tips ache. Gave them bread and luke warm water today. It’s the type of day that frostbite is a reality. The cold itself is bad, but add wind, is a perfect recipe for ol’ man winter. Not fit for man or animal. Be on the lookout for signs in your flock! If caught quick, you can give them a warm bath, and get the blood flowing back into the affected areas.
