Goldy, the rooster, is so stoic as he waits for warmer weather up on his perch in the hen house. Got a little frostbite on those wattles, don't you old man? It did go down to 10 last night, and even though the Cloud 9 Farm Chickens protect themselves in the wind break of the hen house, a little frostbite on those tender combs is inevitable. So before another night of 10 degrees, I'll get him in a"football hold", gently under one arm, and smear it good all over where it must hurt to nsulate it. Oh, what we don't do for chickens on this conservation farm!
