Yuck!!

     Have you looked outside??  It's nasty.  I have no idea how much snow and ice we actually got here, but the wind has to be blowing fifty miles per hour.  We've got white out conditions here.  I had to leave the house yesterday for just a bit to take my kids back to their mother's house and it was starting to spit ice and freezing rain then.  I came home and tucked all of the critters in for the night and made sure they all could get out of the ice and wind.  This morning I went out about eighty thirty to check on everyone and everybody seemed to have made it through the night with out any problems.  I got everyone fed and watered, collected a half-dozen eggs and hurried back inside.  Sometime this evening I'll go pick Tate and Kennedy up and bring them back here, but I am not looking forward to heading back out in this mess.  It's scary looking outside.  

     In other news, we've been getting between 15 and 18 eggs per day.  Not too bad.  We're not making a profit yet in the egg department, but once spring rolls around and we're getting more eggs per day and the feed consumption goes down because they'll be supplementing with grass and bugs, we should start making a little money.  There isn't not a lot of  money in eggs, but it's easy and will go nicely with the chickens and other things we hope to offer down the road.
