Cabin Fever

The coldness has past here in Wenatchee. Snow is melting and the birds are building nests in the garage door runner. Time to start thinking about all the spring projects. Making a 36' X 5' raised bed for gardening. Will be planting in May. The cover crop on main garden has not yet bloomed and I'm afraid it will not due to all the straw and chicken manure. Chickens have been laying 6 eggs each day during the cold, hopefully with the weather warming they will start laying 9 one each. In April the chickens will lose all there feathers and stop laying for about 6 week. This should be very interesting featherless hens?

Month Gone By

The New Year has brought unexpected changes to our family! When we told Grandpa good-bye on Christmas Day we all said "We'll see you next Sunday for your 80th Birthday Party". On New Year's Eve he went to heaven. We had to instead celebrate his life and tell him good-bye on the day we were going to have the party. I'm reminded to make the most of each day and always tell the ones close to you how much you love and appreciate them.

Chickens and the cold

The temperature here in Wenatchee has been in the low teens and high 20's during the day for a couple of weeks.  The hens go into the coop at night so we shut them in and let them out in the morning.  The coop had a 25 watt bulb to give them their 17 hours of light but also heat.  The water inside the coop started to freeze so we wrapped with heat tape.  As the days have past egg productivity has declined.  So I bought an infra-red  heat lamp which really heated up the coop.  I collected 5 eggs this morning fingers crossed will get 9.
