The weather has been up and down. First, real cold then warm, then cold again. Right now the temperature is at 60 deg. going down to 29 tonight. For the rest of the week, it'll be in the low 20's at night and mid 40's during the day.The chickens have been doing their best to keep laying which usually slows down during the winter. I keep a heat lamp on at night so that they get the mandatory 10 hours of daylight that keeps them laying.
I painted a mural on the back of my neighbor's garage to hide the ugly stucco. I put Red in it because he is just gorgeous. He's also a funny chicken. Some Rhode Island Reds are mean but he's a pussycat. When I close the coop up for the night they all get petted and reassured that I will return in the morning.
