someone explain why an experienced ewe would have her babies in the blowing wind with a 12* chill factor. poor little things were almost popsicles by the time I got home from work yesterday. pecan sandy, another cookie daughter gifted me with the cutest set of twins last evening. of course pictures to follow. with the wind so strong and it so cold I moved them and cookie into the hay side of the barn for the night. to cold for small or wet babies to be outside. 20190207_154707.jpg 20190208_164428 (2).jpg what a cute face, right.

I posted a closeup of cookies triplets because @Baymule, @Mike CHS and i were talking about some hair sheep having some wool breeds in the wood pile and this is a prime example of it popping out randomly. the three lambs in this picture are cookie's triplets. note that two have hair and the one on the left has tight wool. sure makes you go hummm.
this is the snow on the mountain like @Senile_Texas_Aggie was talking about. kinda pretty but dang cold.

and just because he's so danged prudy, youall meet buster, yup buster brown leghorn. he was suppose to be a pullet but he's so handsome I almost don't mind. I've been thinking about putting him and the 2 brown leghorn hens I've got in a separate pen and saving eggs for the incubator. they are really beautiful birds and not flighty like white leghorns are. they lay a nice big white egg too.
