Quiet in Coopville....
A pretty sunrise:
Went up to 50 degrees yesterday... but it didn't last :o(
He was pecking on the glass looking for treats!
The girls pulled a lot of his neck feathers out again:
Their decorations - they thought it was something to eat!
Still have plenty of snow around:
Supposed to rain Saturday - it will wash away and bring MUD!

Damn - it was COLD!!!!!!
Hubby and I get up very early every day. By 4 o'clock, we hadn't heard Charlie calling for his breakfast and that is very unusual. Turned the deck light on and could not believe what the temperature was:
-5 degrees!!!!!!
No weather statement said it was going to be that cold. The coop had plenty of hay packed in it, but no warm light. I was so worried about Charlie because the girls have been pulling his neck feathers out again. Wonderful hubby bundled up, went out to the barn in the dark and turned on the light for the coop. When Hubby looked in the window, Charlie and the girls were under the light trying to get warm already.
When it was time for their breakfast, I gave them an extra helping of warm oatmeal with raisins along with their regular feed. They ate all of it, too! None of them had any frostbite, thank goodness!
It warmed up to a whopping 19 in the afternoon. Should start to get warmer today.
I don't like to wear a hat, so this is what keeps me warm:
