The First Storm of the Season

Friday evening, the snow arrived just as predicted.  It snowed all night, and the heaviest of the snow came Saturday morning.

making sure everyone else came into the barn

I went out in the morning to check on everyone with all the changes I had made.  The bucks’ tub was frozen, so I switched it out with one that worked, and then everything was all good.

Happy, happy chickens!

Checking to see how all my tarps did at keeping the wind and snow out of the barn.

It worked! Only a tiny bit of snow where the gap is in the door (Joy)

I put a panel across the north to keep that tarp held down. (Melba, Moonshine, and Pluto)

a bonus of Miss Goose and Buffy because they are so cute.

It continued all day.  Sunday morning left us in a winter wonderland with a ton of scooping snow.  Hello, winter.
