Our meat birds are about 5 weeks old. We have 24 "assorted heavies" from McMurray Hatchery.

They don't tell you what they sent, but there's a list of breeds they are picking from. We have a definite positive ID on the Speckled Sussex, and some good guesses on most of the rest.

I had been assuming that the really big one in the front was a New Hampshire or a Rhode Island Red, but then I was watching a video on meat birds on the "Homesteady" YouTube channel, and realized that maybe that one is the "free surprise chick" that came with the order and could be a Freedom Ranger. Those mature more quickly than the heritage breeds (and classic crosses like RedStar and Blackstar sex links) that were on the list of possible "heavies" we ordered, and that's exactly what this guy is doing.

I had to snowshoe out to the greenhouse after the blizzard before Bill got a load of sand to weigh down the plow truck. The snow was so fluffy, I sank in up to my knees even with the snowshoes!!

Just a couple of days ago, I was writing a blog post about putting the garden to bed for winter, and today, it's covered in over two feet of snow! I know my kale and Egyptian onions will be fine--and hopefully, some of the other things I mentioned in the post.
