BRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Here comes Polar Vortex II yesterday afternoon... it went from 53 to 23 in about 30 minutes. 

This actual cloud formation was in a "v"... but my phone would not show the whole thing. 

Keith had the camera with him, visiting little Brynn. 

Our little redhead has had an ear infection. 

Here are the ducks this morning, cowering in the corner of the big henhouse. 

They hate being in.  

I hated catching them in the strong winds and cold last night. 

Miserable. 

I was not liking ducks at that point. 

They are in until Wednesday morning. 

 Traumatized chickens in the other corner. 

The rest were on top of the closet... not coming down on the floor with those ducks, NO WAY. 

One of these electric lines is going to a warming light on this side... and the other, to the light on the other side.  Jury-rigged, as usual, from the only working outlet.

The henspa flock was busy yesterday afternoon in the yard... happy to be outside.
No one came out today. 

This last picture shows you the usual position of the chickens I showed you sunning themselves in the henspa yard in yesterday's post... you see them as they regularly are... sunning under the warming lamp! 

  We are behind on precipitation here... not dangerously so yet... but behind. 

But I also have to admit I am so glad we are not struggling with the epic snows so many of you have had.  Our temps are going to upper thirties for highs this week... and we do have 51 more days of winter! 

Stay Warm!
