I’m gonna have to do a video soon on trimming the spurs on a rooster. R2 has got some serious weapons on him. Thankfully he’s always been pretty good.

I think the chickens are happy the snow is melting…….. they didn’t like the snow……but they sure do like some leftovers !

Found this straggler just now under the grapevine trellis. How she survived the end of the snowstorm, followed by the past two absolutely FRIGID nights by herself is beyond me but, after the slight protest of being caught, she was MORE than happy to be returned to her flock 💖🐓

Sarah and I doing chicken and quail chores and digging out around the house to have a path to stored firewood and all of the coops. Fresh water and food for everyone. Atleast a foot of snow but much more in some areas because of the drifts. I’m going to have to get an actual snow shovel to have ready in the future. The real mvp is that pipe warmer I bought a couple weeks ago so we always have running water for the chickens and quails.( it has always been a constant battle to keep it from freezing up even when I left it dripping….. not anymore. It will do just fine until we can install some of those frost free faucets in the yard.) This is the most snow Hubert has seen since the 80’s. But the work still has to be done. Will go out sledding again with Bianca in a little while. While i wish the pond wasnt dried up it sure makes for some decent hills since there are none around here.

Ton of snow today and we are out catching the chickens that didn’t make it back to the coops before the storm hit and they are hunkered down under one of the boats and steps. 4 inches already and calling for 12?… if so it will be the most snow this area has seen since the 80’s

About two weeks ago when I was feeding our quail three of them escaped. I managed to catch two but the third male flew over the house and was gone. I saw him the following day and tried to catch him to no avail. I figured he was a gonner. So I was QUITE surprised today to find him not only thriving but apparently he has also made friends with the chickens. 🤷🏻‍♀️
