Well for the forecast was right and we've got about 4-5 inches of snow so far. It's a nightmare, even got 2 inches in the covered runs!. None of the chickens will come out, so have just had to go and put their feeders in their houses. I have had a light sussex bantam egg this morning though, not expecting many more today :(The ducks and turkeys seem happy enough out in the snow though.
Sadly we lost our White Miniature Silkie girl this morning, think she had mareks. Laid a few eggs (got 3 cooking in the incy) then wen't down hill and very unbalanced. To be honest, I was going to give her until the end of the weekend to see if there was any improvement and if not, would've put her out of her misery anyway. So no desperately hunting for another one or 2 girls to go with the cockbird before he gets too lonely.
Think I'll be spending most of the day indoors today, can't really do much else, so I'll snuggle on the bed and read. I'm currently reading the William Monk series by Anne Perry, I'm on book 14 now and loving them...once you get over the initial Sherlock Holmes copycat in the first couple of books, they actually make a really good series with the character development and really paints a good picture of Victorian London from the high society to the paupers in the alleyways and tenements.
