Really it hasn't been that bad of a Winter - at least, compared to last year. We have only had a few days of snow flurries which usually melt by noon. Yes, the temperature could be a tad bit warmer but it is Winter after all!!
BUT with the shorter days of sun does take its toll. My 60 some chickens aren't laying. I am lucky if I can find 8 or 9 eggs. Doesn't help when you have customers ordering two or three dozen eggs daily. And fellow farmers are in the same situation! How to kill an egg business in one easy step!!
And now I am playing the waiting game - when, oh when, will the baby goats be born??? AND please don't let it happen on a cold, nasty day!! But, it usually does and, somehow, they do survive!!
