Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[chickencam]

-3 here last night and because my girls did some feather removal on each other yesterday, silly billys, I put an old sleeping bag over the eglu last night and it was stiff with white ice crystals this morning

 

Everywhere is quite beautiful in the bright morning sun, I would far rather have winter weather like this than what they are forcasting for next week. Cold and wet yuk, time to hibernate I think

[Tessa the Duchess]

Last night I asked DH did he think it was cold enough to freeze the glug,

"Absolutely NOT" he said Went out this a.m. around 8 to let them out and yep the glug was frozen solid

 

My 'letting the chickens out' wardrobe is getting weirder and weirder

this morning's ensemble red pjs, yellow cloggies, green body warmer, son's "Ooops, word censored!"nal scarf, bright pink wooly hat give us a twirl

The wacky wardrobe is one of the perks of being a chook owner

[Christian]

Yep!

 

bobble hat, blue dressing gown and green wellies this morning! I looked like a bruise!

[Lesley]

- what colour bobble hat?

 

Big T shirt and purple Crocs for me - if I wear any more than that, I have a tendency to start faffing around doing other things.......... and i didn't have time. To the quail and back.... and i was frozen

[chickencam]

Pink fleecy hat and i forgot to take it offall day yesterday

[Egluntyne]

Yep!

 

bobble hat, blue dressing gown and green wellies this morning! I looked like a bruise!

 

Is that a bruise or a bruiser Christian?

[Christian]

Definately a bruise. Stripey hat this morning I think!

 

Not as cold here but still only 3 degrees, at least i don't have to defrost 4 glugs this morning!

[ali-s]

Mild here although a cool breeze is blowing. Two loads of washing out drying in the breeze and another load just put in the machine. I may get round to cutting the grass later, or I may wait until OH gets home from work and get him to do it

[feemcg]

I think you better keep an eye on that washing Ali - looks like we're all in for a soaking later

[Egluntyne]

Absolutely glorious here......the girls are sunbathing...in November!! .....in Sheffield!!

 

Had to take my fleece of when I was giving them their Saturday clean out, it was so warm.

[Christian]

Woken up by gales this morning!! It is really lashing it down with rain here. At least the fallen leaves are being blown into the paddock!

[Charlottechicken]

We have had a soaking overnight here too My fence panels are wringing wet, it's cold too, some cheeky beggar has nicked my rear windscreen wiper (had a spare in the shed so that is now on) but the battery is flat spare battery now on charge

I see the north-east of England has a weather warning for snow - any omleteers from there?

[Blackrocksrock]

Like Ali - the washing up here is still out drying and its been very mild for us and all down south seem to be getting the frost. Are you not getting lovely days after the frost as I used to think the sun came out after frost and we had a lovely dry bracing day!.

 

Roll on the good days so the winter seems less.

[The Dogmother]

Much warmer here on Saturday, but grey and dreary. We had gales and pouring rain all last night - I even had to shut the bedroom window! The chooks weren't too keen to move out of their nice dry run when I opened the door. Warm enough but still blowing a gale, just about to get the stove lit.

[Egluntyne]

Really cold and miserable here.

[susanbb]

It's here today. Very chilly indeed

[Cate in NZ]

Grey, wet, biting cold and very, very miserable here . Aaaaargh, I hate this weather

[Egluntyne]

Grey, wet, biting cold and very, very miserable here . Aaaaargh, I hate this weather

 

Ditto.

[Charlottechicken]

Sleet here now I just noticed it building up on the car windscreens, so of course had to go out and stick my fingers in it

 

It has been a tad biting here all day, hens complaining, never got above freezing and just rain, now sleet, all day

 

It will be an interesting journey to work tomorrow, I'm sure

[Guest]

I'd already booked a day off work tomorrow, central heating engineer coming to service the boiler

 

I hope he turns up, I had to book him months in advance

 

Sleeting down here now, very cold, girls stayed in the run almost all of the day poor things

[The Dogmother]

It's snowing like mad here now, it's building up on the windscreens outside, although it looks wet.

 

Woooo Hooooo...I LOVE SNOW!

[Cate in NZ]

We're still on rain, pretty much vertical sheets of it and bitterly cold, but rain nonetheless . I'd actually prefer snow

[Charlottechicken]

It has been snowing here for over an hour now!
