How to raise Backyard Chickens: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Back Again

Glad to hear you weathered the storm!

With 6 months of who knows what ahead, I wouldn't put those camping supplies away anytime soon and you might want to beef up the hootch supply as well. With advancing age, it's about the only fun thing that can be done in the dark ;)

It will take me forever to catch up on all the e-mail and group messages. I am too tired to do it right now. This camping out business is not for old people. Having done this before a couple times we were prepared but it gets harder every year. We only got about 6" of snow and the town came around to pick up all the debris. There are a lot fewer trees in New Hampshire. The chickens were in the dark for 2 nights. This could possibly trigger a molt.
