Minus 26 Morning

It was -26C yesterday morning on the farm. I mean: come on. The donkey and 2 horses grow some thick winter fur, but our new horse Ginger is 22 and has very fine hair, so J bought her a blanket, which looks to me like a horsey snowsuit.

After feeding and watering the chickens and horses, we made ourselves a grand slam breakfast.

For reasons that I don't understand, considering the weather, the chickens are laying a lot of eggs, but they freeze overnight. J brought in half a dozen eggs that were frozen as solid as cue balls, and mostly cracked. The dogs get the cracked eggs, in fact yesterday Chloe ate a total of 13 eggs.

The chickens were huddled under the heat lamp.

The geese were smoking in the barn.
