It's Getting Hot in the Hen House!

Miss Goldie looking on. Isn't she beautiful?Does this mini-Sun keep her awake at night?Me giving a smooch to Miss Goldie because I CARE. Does she look like she gives a shit? Probably not. Mr. Rocky the mean rooster who doles out the Rocky Rooster attack on me daily.
It is sooo cold in Louisiana. With the temperature dropping close to 30 degrees each night, I have to put up a heating lamp. On the day before Thanksgiving, I accidentally left on the heating lamp all day. A chicken must have tried to roost on the power chord, because the heating lamp was laying face down on the hay in the pen. There was a burnt black circle that was smoldering when I got home. Oh my Gawd... I could have had fried chicken on Thanksgiving Day! I have been MUCH more careful since.

Awwww, your birds are adorable just like you! They must be so lucky to have a caring master like yourself.

Warmly,

I must take the time to go back and read through your early blog entries. Being a newbie on the scene, I didn't know you lived with chicks? What's the story here? I grew up with my brother raising chickens....about 60 at a time....in the house to start with, then to the hen house. I'm glad for the LACK of fried chicken. Scary!

Nice pics, but Brett you seem way too smart to put a PayPal Icon on your website.
