Let Me Know

Tags: News
Let me know what you want to see here. If you have news to share, just pass it on to me and I will post it here. As you can see, it's a slow news day.

The only news I am able to scrounge up presently is about the cold wave that is afflicting us. Wearing thermal snow pants helps as does a good hat & scarf and double think mittens, bonus points for style if the parts match.

The hens are laying, frozen combs and all. Having frostbitten combs does not faze the hens, they're tough birdies. I just took one frozen & cracked egg and one unscathed from the hen house a few minutes ago. I should have looked earlier, before the one egg froze. We put a big waterer of very warm water in their coop to help keep them warm and give them a good drink so they can make eggs. Is there such a thing as egg-laying tea? I could drop a teabag of that in there.

For the most part, the animals are unfazed by the extreme cold. My two Border Collies enjoy the cold. So do Clancy & Gus McCann, Star MacFadyen and Ceilidh & Misha Dauphinee-MacDonald. Short-haired Mocha Campbell and Buddy Zimmerman, however, do not like to go out in the cold. Should I see about putting coats on them, too? And Muttluks for their paws?

Gravatar Image1 - The cold is a shock for sure. Oscar & Shadow prefer to look out the window only. Chick was glad to have Kendra bring her winter blanket up to her on Wednesday night & Gypsy has enough wool to warm herself in -50.
