January 2018! It got in single digits. Good thing our snowmageddons only last 3-4 days!
It’s 4* here. I’m keeping the animals in. I’m waiting to do my chores till around 9...maybe it’ll be 6*? we got about 24-15”of snow in the last three days...with ice mixed in there so you have to be very careful how you walk, and walking out to the barn, you fall through that thick crust. Makes carry buckets of water, not fun.... The tank isnt frozen, it’s the valve handle...it’s plastic so we can’t take the torch to it... So, I carry many, many buckets. On the upside, our egg production is wayyyy up! Now we just need people to start buying. We have two regular customers, but we need some more, now that we’re getting 20 a day..and that number will just rise with 35 hens, once the pullets are a little older. We’re in the money

! We all did a 500 piece puzzle together
buckets with lids worked the best, less sloshing because when you have to haul water you don't want to waste a single drop, lol.
Maybe a hair dryer would warm it up enough to move?The tank isnt frozen, it’s the valve handle...it’s plastic so we can’t take the torch to it..
We use the sled to haul feed..I was wondering about the water..you didn’t lose too much and then have too much Ivey spots?Ducks, I used to haul water for the horses in the winter. Instead of carrying them I used a plastic sled to slide it along. Much easier on the body. The 5 gallon buckets with lids worked the best, less sloshing because when you have to haul water you don't want to waste a single drop, lol.
