Finally, a decent snowfall!

We managed to get clipped by the midwest snowstorm that made the news, although we were right on the edge. We managed to get 4" here, although 20 miles to the west there was nothing and just 10 miles east there was 8"

Following the snow were very cold temps - with the morning temperature only 7 degrees. A distant memory are the nice 55 degree days we enjoyed earlier this week!





The hens are tucked in their chicken house with care. I insulated the ceiling and have the water heater on. They are a little grumpy about not being let out to forage around the yard, but I am thinking they would not find much for now. With 42 hens, we've been getting about 3 dozen eggs a day.
