Frost Heave


It was about 20F when I woke up this morning. It dropped to around 17F before the temperatures started to rise for the day. We usually get a little dip just before dawn.


We have had TONS of rain recently, so the ground is saturated. It's nice walking on it now that it's frozen, because I don't slip and slide everywhere I try to walk.


The chickens don't seem to mind, either. They walk around on the ice crystals barefoot and even wade in the little creek that's running strong now due to all the rains.

They have some tough feet, don't they..I was watching my chickens run through the stream, and when they walked on some hay on the other side, it was freezing to their feet immediately...brrrrr...
