It has been a relatively quiet and uneventful winter. For the most part, the weather has been mild. We did (finally!) get electricity to the chicken coop which allowed us to give the hens a heated waterer. Eggs production increased almost back to summer levels afterwards! Misty has taken to living with the hens and even shares in the scraps they get. (Who would've guessed a cat would eat stale lucky charms?)
The little bantam rooster "Charlie" has stayed and lives in the 'bachelor' field with the pony "Chester" and the little bucks. They are quite a sight to see as they pretty much always all stay together. Charlie was even seen hiding from a hawk under the protection of Chesters wide-load belly!
We are now gearing up for spring... kidding season is just around corner!
