The Deep Freeze

Written by

in

The wind howls,

The snow blows ( wish it would stick),

Chickens are locked in their coop with extra straw, food, water and scratch grain for entertainment and digestive warmth,

The wood stove is blazing and will stay stoked

As the temperature plunges to the negatives.

Wish I could stay in and enjoy, but eggs will quickly freeze in these temps so forays to the coop will have to happen til late afternoon.

Stay warm and safe my friends.

We had -25ºC last week, which was -17ºF. I hope you weren’t that cold. I’m not sure how the chickens would do. Stay warm!!

  We made it down to -12°f one night with severe wind chill and -3°f the second night. I added straw to the coop, but no heat. Cogburn, the roo suffered some waddle frostbite, but he is dealing OK with it. It hasn’t affected his amorousness.
