Flock Focus Friday 2/20/15

Unrelenting, brutal cold and snow have been the name of the game here in New England the past month and there is no relief in sight. Nobody doubts the local meteorologist who said today that this has been the coldest month in Connecticut history. The weather is to blame for cabin fever in the chicken coops, but lots of exciting things are unfolding inside as we await some relief from the cold.

We welcomed a new member into our flock family just in time for my birthday this week: Milo, a 3 month old Yorkshire Terrier with an impressive pedigree, was escorted from South Carolina by his breeder to New York City, a short car ride from his forever home here in Connecticut! He walked into the house like he owned the joint and stole all of our hearts with his affectionate, playful personality. Please enjoy some of the photos taken since the last Flock Focus Friday!

I havet had my coffee yet now would be a good time to back up and walk away

The cold never bothered me anyway False I hate winter

Warning caffeine deprived and dangerous when provoked proceed at your own risk

Someone get my agent on the phone Frigid is not in my contract

Its a real shame that you cant drink coffee and sleep at the same time

Thank you for all the great info on your site. We are first timers and you have already saved us from many bad decisions. Our coop and run is still in production and we were about to use chicken wire!!!! DOPE! The hardware cloth is now ordered and on its way. Poop boards with vinyl and sand are also in the works along with nest curtains. Can’t wait to add the chicken yard tee pees too.

I just love seeing Milo. And I am so glad you waited and let him have extra time with his Mom. Most people sell puppies way too soon. Their Mom has so much to teach them.
