Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

It's dark again already, which means night is here, marking the close of another day. Like the snap of a finger, day has come and gone

On the bright side, in 2 weeks it will be daylight just a little, tiny bit longer.

Thank you! and yes this is the worst part for us too, getting her to take the meds. Her cough makes her so tired that she crashes at night and with no coughing overnight she at least gets some rest.

It's going to be a wonderful 45 today with a start of 32 tomorrow, then 28, 25, 20 Thur morning 8 in the afternoon, 0, then back up to 6 Sat morn. That's Tulsa may be a little cooler here. Soooo it could be -temps Fri yay. Time to start adding a little extra grain/protein to the critters.

Good morning, it's sunny, breezy and 26 degrees.

Hope you enjoy your day.

We're all having our "own" winter temps and to be quit frank, I don't like mine . BUT they are so much better than some of y'all, well -- I wouldn't trade and shouldn't complain!

Funny to see the acclimation tho....my cold 35 is shirt sleeve weather for others. im just gonna snuggle by this heater!!

Hubs asked me last night if he needed to run an extension cord (2) down to the coop. Cus the nights have been 24 - 28 degrees F. I looked it up and said I didn't think so. There is twelve of the bodies in a large space with roosting poles with mortar tubs underneath. If they got that cold, I would hope they would all jump down onto the chip covered floor to huddle under the shelving that holds their poop boxes.

Me too @Mini Horses ! I suit up like it’s sub zero weather to go outside. I’m acclimated to HOT weather (plus an air conditioner) . I’m glad we don’t get long cold winters!

yep, almost over the hump as far as i'm concerned. once the days start getting longer again it is for me the psychological boost for getting the rest of the way through winter.

Naaawh....chickens don't move at night. BUT they do huddle and fluff feathers. Those temps they'll be ok.

Cold here today although a little more sun out there. 31 up to only 36... little breeze but at least a little more sun. NOT looking forward to the Christmas weekend with single digits and highs in the 20's. Just hope that if we get the precip they are calling for Thurs-Fri that it is all snow and not cold freezing rain or mix. The cattle can take just snow better than that soaking in bone chilling cold rain crap.

50+ years and I am still not acclimated to this weather. Wore my insulated hiking boots, insulated Carhart coveralls, heavy work gloves, knit cap yesterday in the 30 degree weather and was cold after 30 minutes. Ugh
