Understandably as it was -5°F. Yesterday morning as rough too with the wind. Gave them some warm Oatmeal as a treat, they were stoked. I do want to inspect their combs for any frostbite today, just to be sure. I did get snow blowing through the ridge vent during last Friday's storm, right into their coop. Cleaned out the snos after and they were fine. If we get another windy event I'll make sure modification to keep the snow out during the storm at least.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Will evergreen plants recover in the spring if deer have gotten at them? They’ve eaten quite a bit of my azalea and some holly type bushes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I am hearing awesome sounds as the temperature changes and cracks are forming on the lake just now. It echos across the silence of the lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have vibrant downtowns with shopping, restaurants, museums. I would say you can't go wrong with either P-town or Falmouth for best variety. I love outer Cape Provincetown/Truro for the beaches and P-town has plenty to do and great people watching. Falmouth area has a great downtown and short drives to lots of beaches and nature and easy day trip access to Martha's Vineyard. It's also more of a year round working town so the prices are not quite as outrageous as outer Cape. Anyway, can't go wrong with either. If you choose Falmouth let me know and I can give you a long list of recommendations. I grew up spending summers in N Falmouth so I'm quite familiar with that part of the Cape.

PhineasC Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Never figured that chickens would do well in northern climates like this. I guess I never expected to hear about chickens out in single digit temps walking on the snow. Not bad for a bird descended from the junglefowl of SE Asia.

Cape Cod hotels are pretty plain compared to what you might find in other beach resort areas (Hilton Head etc) because most of them are 50+ years old. Unless you want to stay at an Inn? The Sea Crest is one of Kevin's faves and it's right on Old Silver Beach. It's only about a 10 minuted drive to downtown Falmouth. Buzzards Bay, so water is much warmer than outer Cape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these hardy breeds would never make it down in the jungle. Most of my birds would rather have 0° than 90°. They can fluff up and find a way to stay warm at 0°. They can find little relief from 90° with dews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can watch them through my sliders and they're only 10 feet away, if I don't move they keep on eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the critters eat your small arborvitae (if you have one) to below the lowest green branch, it's cooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they did to my hostas last year, some years they eat about half but last year they ate them right to the ground and left little stubs.

Not very good at it. I didn't either but a history of skiing does seem to quicken the learning curve. I would think that some of the kettle ponds in SEMA should be pretty good to go after the next cold shot, if not already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
