Winter mud...

Winter mud.... 

Running low on firewood when its 12 degrees is always fun a chore.... But I had some help from the young'ens and that really helped .... 

A few days after the cold snap the global warming kicked in and the temps made it up to 40 for a few days .... The ground was still frozen but it got MUDDY .... Time for the straw ... It was a nice time to get outside and do some chores to keep the animals happy....
As soon as the first bit of straw hit the ground the birds started to scratch and peck there way through it ....


They are happy ! And when you have happy chickens you get happy eggs .... We have been getting them all winter long .... So they must be happy !
We keep the goat feeder full with a good quality hay, but for whatever reason they love to eat the bedding straw .... So I make sure to bring extra ....


Hay ... If they like it .....

While I was making the animals happy ... Took Mya for a well needed run ..... She is standing watch for predators....
And now its back to below freezing and more snow .......

Stay warm folks .....
