   I don't care how fucking cold it is. Meats going on the grill today. I just need an extra fire to keep my ass warm in the meantime

     I mean it was a moving experience. I mostly stayed indoors, but I went out to check the chicken coop a few times to ensure the temperature would hold up.
     
     But yeah, with the wind and the intense cold. I've never seen anything like it. Even the way the trees sounded in the bluster was very alien.

     @kakkerel I gotcha. I've never lost a bird to cold thankfully (knock wood). I use deep litter and it generates a little heat if you just lay more over top. In the spring I clean the whole thing out into the compost bin and over the next months add new layers. I've never needed to run a heater either.
     
     We had a week late in December which was a bit colder and a lot more windy. Definitely know the feeling. I'll tell you wat though I just fed that fire quite a bit of wood in a relatively small period of time. The wind kept speeding the burn along.

     @thatguyoverthere I'm new to chickens. I've heard from many others that they're very resistant to cold assuming they're living in dry conditions free from wind, but I didn't have the confidence of experience to give me enough peace of mind not to fuss over them.

     @kakkerel you aren't alone. I think @TinyHouse4Life brought 2 of her birds in last night because of the cold. I just have been fortunate probably because my coop is kind of over engineered. I saw a coop online that was priced at like 4 grand and thought to myself "self, you can build that for far less" and I've been quite happy.

     @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel
     I do bring in my 7 year old broody hen and my tiny bantam silkie rooster inside during certain weather conditions. The chicken coop floor is dirt so if it is rainy and extreme cold I will bring those 2 in just to be in the safe side. I will say, now that we have the sawmill running, I am considering making some changes to the coop

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel what kind of saw mill do you have?

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel a lot of why I get away with not worrying about temperature much is my coop. It helps a lot. They're up off the ground and the bedding generates a little heat and acts as insulation from below. I have 2 windows and a door but it holds enough warmth it seems even on windy days

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel I used to have a couple seramas roosters. They were awesome but I imagine cold like we've been having might have been too much

     One of those that you attach to the chainsaw. I am very happy with it.

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel nice. I bought one of those too, but you need pretty big trees to get usable boards out of them on the one I have. I think it's perfect for making posts though. I ultimately ended up buying a norwood on a trailer which is the most amazing thing ever. A friend of mine is using it right now, but hopefully this year we'll be able to take down the rest of the maple that broke in half in December and mill it out to use in the house. This will be the first tree from this property I will have harvested.

     I regularly keen an eye out for someone selling a saw mill.

     Heck yeah. Norwood is a beast machine. I am hoping to harvest as much as I can out in the pine forest. There's 1000s out there but they are starting to fall in large numbers.

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel I had someone who needed a patch of pine cleared from their property but couldn't find a helper for more than a day of work. I ended up with a truckload but could have had much more for free. My friend who's currently using my mill was wrapped up with other work. I have a bunch of hardwoods on my land. Not much pine. I wish I had cedar

     Cedar is so pretty. I have some slabs that hubby used to make live edge shelves in the kitchen. They are gorgeous. We have a bunch of cedar trees around too but they all have skinny little trunks. A big pine tree fell and took out a cedar on the way down. Hubby says he's gonna see if he can get anything off of it

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel it is a nice looking wood, especially if you do chunky live edge stuff with it. It's also really good for outdoor use because it's more bug resistant than a lot of other options. I used some to build a compost bin and raised beds.

     @TinyHouse4Life @kakkerel I also made a planter for the front of the house that we filled with soil so now it weighs a million pounds.
