Do whatever you need to bed everyone down tight for your extra cold! Stack those straw bales up to create a windbreak, hope the sun is out in the morning, and feed feed feed.

I don't think my goats have looked at me any weirder in the cold.. but the first couple hops around on the milk stand with "hey hey hey your hands are COLD!" reminded me to warm them up first.<br />;-)<br /><br />Hi VPak! Great idea - kind of a little green house for the clucks. I love the idea of having a full sized green house for late fall greens..then using it for chickens in the winter.. then for early spring planting/seed starting. Thats one of the projects on my 'to do' list.Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-25282977700552322712010-12-09T11:02:19.716-05:002010-12-09T11:02:19.716-05:00All good things to consider.

It makes a tremendous difference for them.<br />Stay warm!<br />Veggie PAKVeggie PAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250455377130668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-86703201573621864082010-12-09T08:51:13.947-05:002010-12-09T08:51:13.947-05:00The chickens don't care about the bundling, bu...The chickens don't care about the bundling, but our goats pretty much freaked out the first time my Mom ran out to milk with a scarf on!<br /><br />My chickens and quail aren't so picky.<br /><br />Love your blog btw. :)Naomi Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207916763681275465noreply@blogger.com
