Chickens during Winter ~ Eggs

I wanted to share a clip from a newspaper that my oldest brother shared with me.  I do take out warmer water this time of year. 

I am going to try the suggestion for feeding them - lighter in the am, and heavier in the pm, and see how it goes.  I'll let you know if the egg production changes for the better.  I do believe they need a break after long summer, but having some eggs would be nice too.  We got one egg yesterday.

Omelets and Soup Beans

Due to the insane weather, the field across the street flooded, then froze.  Roads were a bit slick Sunday morning.

The wood stove was started back up and going strong, bringing warmth back into our home.

The new dishwasher installed (given to us by a friend), and homemade sausage was made.  It was too much of a mess outside to cut wood.

Hubby spoiled us with his famous omelets on Sunday morning.  Oh my gosh, they are so good.

I made a crock pot of soup beans.  We have one ham bone left in the freezer now.

Our 20 year-old daughter surprised us with a visit yesterday.  Of course she came with not one, but two laundry baskets full of laundry and bedding to wash.  We had a good visit though.

Not much going on here at the homestead in winter.  We have made no plans for a anniversary getaway either.
