Rainy, slushy day

February 11, 2013 - Author: Fallen sky - No Comments

3 eggs AM-This morning everything is melting creating a great slush and from what I understand it’s going to get cold again later tonight. Warmed corn and spring mix on the menu. The flock loved the new hay I put into the nesting boxes and gave me 3 eggs this morning. Coop run is wet, but not sure if that is from melting snows or water getting in. 1/2 the coop still full of snow. All in all the flock looks healthy and happy, and thus far have survived one of the worst winters on record.

I will always miss Betsy, my only loss this winter, but she died before it was even cold, and I think she had other issues, because the week before I took photos and she was happy and healthy. I think maybe something got stuck in her crop or she was egg bound. Hard to say.
