Alive but Chilly!

They survived the night. All of the waterer's were frozen this am but the girls survived the frigid temps. We were lucking to not lose power at my house. The city of Austin is doing rolling blackouts to save power on the grid. So far we are safe. Today the high was around twenty degrees with a wind chill of about 3. Tonight its supposed to drop down to 15. I have been changing their waterer with hot water frequently and feeding them hot mash consisting of oats, grits, broccoli, and corn. They go nuts over it. I also gave them some grapes and almost lost Barb. Did you know chickens can choke? She was literally choking-contorting her body in a weird position and panting. I had no idea what to do so I gave her a little tap like heimlich maneuver and it worked! Lesson learned....Cut grapes into bite size.

One night and day down, two more to go with possible snow on friday, then 60 and Sunny for the weekend. Crazy weather.
