Hungry Birds and Frozen Water

Last year I wrote a blog using the example of Alfred Hitchcocks, The Birds. Well, here we go again! We have been in a "deep freeze" going on 3 weeks now. The poor chickens have taken it pretty hard. Because the ground is both covered in snow and frozen the birds cannot peck the grass foraging for food. As a result they steal quite a bit of the chicken feed. Water is also a challenge. I'm having to replenish water a couple of times a day because either the birds drink it up or it becomes frozen solid. I will readily admit that I enjoy the winter. However, I must say that I'm ready for the thawing to begin. 🥶

I was hoping to get more work done outside in the month of January but so far that hasn't been possible. The good news is that we are supposed to warm up next week so hopefully I can begin some of the cleanup. I'll keep you posted. Until then, the dogs are happy watching the snow from the window. They also find entertainment watching the birds come up to the window carrying stolen food in their beaks. Oh well, all of God's creatures have to eat so I guess the chickens can continue sharing their food for a few more days. ☺️ Stay warm!
