-12 and still dropping…

It was -11 when I woke up at 5:15am.  It’s now -12 at 6am and still declining.  According to weather.com it “feels” like -29 right now.  It just feels damn cold. 

The chicken coop is holding at 28 degrees thanks to the heat lamp, and huddled together with their body heat, the hens should be enjoying a balmy 38-40 degrees right now. 

Thanks to our trusty little wood stove, the kitchen is feeling pretty cozy as well.
