chickens in snow

A Blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara

I was kind of hoping the New Year would bring a little normalcy. On Sunday, January 3 Beekeeper Brian and I both tested positive for COVID.  We only had mild symptoms but were still put in quarantine for 10 days.

My hope of being back in a routine became a struggle to teach music classes from home.

Then on Sunday, January 10 it snowed.

That may not sound like a big deal but in our part of Texas, it hadn’t happened since 2017.  This snowstorm produced the 5^th largest amount of snow on record.

We measured 4 ½ “.

This may not sound like a lot unless you are a dachshund whose legs are only 4 inches long.

The chickens were not fans either.  They sent a scout while the rest stayed in the coop.

Got some interesting pictures I never could have imagined – chicken prints in the snow.

And, of course I built the obligatory snowman.  It’s not too bad.

I can’t wait to see what this Sunday brings…
