Well, its mid winter, but only a few days into the official winter season. The temps have been steady in the tens above with a few venture below zero and few spikes beyond 20 above. The chickens, guineas and geese are no worse for wear. Through, Rudy the rooster has lost a bit on his comb and most of his waddle, he is getting along just fine. The geese spend most of the days outside. They have a path going between the coop and the watering hole they created this past fall. The water is from the sump pump in the basement, we have had so much water up this year, the sump is still running. So, the geese wonder over to it to bath and hang out. The ten hens are still laying about 5 to 8 eggs a day, which is enough to pay for their feed. The geese received a gift of two alfalfa bails, which is keeping them busy and the chicken are enjoying the dry green stuff too. The guineas are doing their best stay warm.. they however are aloud bunch, inside and out. We all are looking forward to spring... which I keep hearing is just around the corner!
