Dragon Cats & Chilly Chickens

10/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Fall chores of construction and bed prep continues while the cold of winter creeps closer and makes outdoor work a little harder and a little more urgent. Each step gets the chickens a little closer to being completely warm and dry for the coming winter. 

There are still dried flowers from summer left that get turned into wreaths to enjoy in the winter and with the shorter daylight for outdoor work come more time for indoor weaving work. 

Those crafts will be available this weekend at the Heritage Museums Holiday Bazaar and more events (TBA) throughout the coming holiday season!

The gold of fall has come and gone with heavy winds last week taking most of the larch needles with it.

The huts and runs are nearing completion but can be slow going since most wire work requires dexterity which is hard to keep in near or below freezing temps. Cold hands call for many tea and coffee breaks with a few cookies for good measure!

And then the real cold and snow came. It is almost gone but the chickens and ducks got a little taste of what is to come and I got to scramble to get heat lamps temporarily in place and top up water dishes as they froze solid in the -2F.

Hella is all ready for Halloween with her very own dragon costume even if it is a little snug!

These wreaths and many more will be available this Friday and Saturday at the Heritage Museums Holiday Bazaar. I'll also have some handwoven scarves, dragon hair clips, and a few dried flower barrettes! Stop by from 4-7pm this Friday or 10-4pm this Saturday at the museum!
Eggs are coming soon!
The yearly molt is almost done (just a few stragglers are fluffing out) and then the winter lights get turned on to give them more daylight hours and then they start laying again! ​
