To work half a day, i need two hours commute time each way. If i want to be home before dark i need to leave by... (let me calculate)... 8 am. Hey, i can do that. i need to feed the chickens before i leave and that gives me about 1/2 hour of daylight.
This is my first winter with chickens and i feel so blessed so far. The girls are healthy and seem happy but it is COLD out and will remain so for a week solid. Now, i know chickens live in cold climates but i just don't have the experience that years of raising them brings. For the next week i need to take care of my girls and get to work as efficiently as possible.
i've re-checked the bus schedule and and made a new plan (Stan). i like having a plan. i feel better when i have a plan. i don't like it when things interfere with my plan. i was sick with a headache last week; that f**ked with my plans. Just when i am recovering the weather starts in, i had to figure out a way to heat the coop for more than a night or two.
i'm actually proud of the heater my son and i came up with and since i'm home for the day, i'm going to tweak it again. And i am going to go get a higher wattage bulb (if i have the nerve to drive my car), that and some straw. i need more straw. i thought i had enough but...
Need to run. Back later.
