Hopefully, it will just be a tiny taste and the weather will moderate again. There is still a fair amount to be done before the snow flies.<br />I'm so glad your pullets are adjusting so well.

So far I am relying on thick sweaters or light sweater plus jacket and scarf outdoors.

Because if it is evenings and the light suddenly goes off the chickens won't be able to find their way to the perches. We always extended hours by having the light on early and then the chickens go to bed by themselves as it gets to dusk. <br />Col used to lift new hens onto their perches for a few nights to show them what they are supposed to do - small brains!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-68392668077292883832015-10-16T07:23:47.387-07:002015-10-16T07:23:47.387-07:00Pat, as a chicken keeper for more than 20 years, I...Pat, as a chicken keeper for more than 20 years, I've learned something new. Didn't know that about the egg whites. I can't abide any runny white in my eggs (nor I'm embarrassed to say those nasty cords), so do tell how long you cook yours so I will get the firm whites and runny yellow. I just gave my entire flock away as I'm going to be spending more time in the city. I think the barn cats miss them.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
