Egluntyne Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My hens are sunbathing in the garden. It is so warm here that my neighbour is gardening....in shorts! Central heating turned off. You could really go off some people, eh Christian? Sorry. The weather forecast last night was for rain , rain and more rain (we've already had a week of that) turning to snow on high ground. (That's us!) We were promised a blanket of snow last week but that didn't happen either. I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed.

Cinnamon Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Oh me too Poor Hubby is out in the rain putting the last of the roof sheets on the new hen pen. My hens are drenched,even though their current pen has a roof - its all the sideways rain we have been getting Can't even wear crocs in the garden as they slip in the mud,so its squelchy old welly clogs at the moment. The garden is a quagmire.We have a high water table,a natural well & a stream,so you can inagine how wet & muddy it all is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a well, but little springs appear form nowhere and burble away, and lakes appear and sit for months sometimes. A neighbour further up the road has elaborate pumping equipment in his cellar to deal with the water that literally flows through it after prolonged rain. My Croc wellies have been pulled off twice in the last few days by the squelchy mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 OH and I have been out for 2 hours in the rain today - cleaning the chooks and re-vamping the hen hotel. The girls loved free ranging over the vegy patch but they got soaked when i went to shut the cube door i found 7 of them in the nesting box!
