i feel the need to write a haiku.
Wait for it...
Straw smells good... wholesome.
The good gents spread paperboard.
Subaru heaven.
Maybe one more...
Tank heaters R Us,
coop heaters on the shelf,
little glass chickens!
my mood is no longer so sour.
i braved the roads and traffic and ice to get to Burns. My Subaru holds two, count'em, two bales of straw. They had a great coop heating light and wonderful little glass chickens. i was in and out of the store in minutes but the dock guys had my car loaded already and even laid paperboard under the bales.
The gals at the counter weren't busy but said it had been busy earlier, people buying a lot of tank heaters. We're not used to freezing temperatures around here.
The hens now have a 250 watt heat lamp and the graphite cylinder is heating up. Now i have to go out and check that it's not too hot. First i worry the coop is too cold now i worry it's too hot.
Their water is partly frozen. It needs to heat up some in there but i worry about fire. I will be checking on them several times before i go to bed myself tonight.
OK. Enough for now. i need to check on the girls.
