That last post...
Was old! I've drifted away from the action here and become immersed in EAC business and action around the farm and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... Anyway, the girls are much older and are still rocking it! They are dealing with their first snow and some really cold temperatures (down to 10 degrees F last night) and seem to be doing well.
And the chickens are rocking it too! We have nine layers now, or maybe 8, or 10. We think that everyone except for 1 or 2 of the speckled sussex are laying. We go 8 eggs yesterday despite the cold temperatures and limited daylight...
