We finally got some snow here in mid-michigan. About 2-3inches that actually stuck around long enough for the hubs to haul out the quad runner, attach a rope and pull me and my son around the yard on a sled!! Such fun!! It was cold and the snow flew up into your face and the tall grasses/weeds wipped you in the face, but slidding around the yard at a semi-fast pace can not be beat. The chickens seemed to enjoy watching us too.
the downside to the snow and cold was that the chickens did not lay as many eggs as they had been with the warmer temps, we got about 9 eggs where we had been getting about 10-12 a day (we have 17 chickens capable of laying at this time). Earlier in the week plans were to make a sign and start selling the eggs, we sort of put that plan on hold because we ordered a sign from a local gal instead. The sign should be ready today or tomorrow, so Wednesday it is, since I have the day off. Can't wait, hopefully things go well.
