Staying indoors!
Today we had a few splatterings of snow but overall it is just VERY cold at the moment with temperatures now well below freezing each night and not getting much above 1 or 2 during the day. We are very lucky that we have such a big stable for the poultry as the only birds going out on a regular basis at the moment are the geese.
Relaxed at Home
The picture shows Queenie and one of her daughters and embarrassingly we don’t know which one, they are horrendously difficult to tell apart!!! Queenie isn’t back laying yet but both her daughters are, as is Row her granddaughter.
We have upped the corn for the birds with it being so cold and every day thank them for their continuing hard work in providing us with such amazing eggs!! We have been collecting eggs every day for eight and a half years now and the excitement and joy of daily egg hunting, is still a huge thrill.
