It's *bitterly* cold today! OK it's winter but this is downright
miserable. From indoors the sun looks delightful but the cold races
through clothes, skin, fat and flesh and flash-freezes your bone marrow
when you step outside, even well-wrapped. Two chooks have unclenched
their bottoms sufficiently to lay, 2 pullets probably trying to be smart
and, like those teenagers who go around with bared midriffs in all
weather, thereby risking their bodies installing a layer of insulating
fat that they'll spend the rest of their lives trying to diet and
exercise off, they aren't old enough to notice the cold.

Yesterday was a lovely day, the opposite of today: it felt warmer than
the temperature showed. And my girls produced 6 eggs. If anyone posts
and asks "That's from how many hens?" I'll pretend I didn't see it.
