Be Prepared for Anything

It’s been icy here in my neck of the woods. The ice came in on Sunday evening/Monday morning and temperatures have hovered around 20 degrees.

Brrrrr! It’s cold! My chickens have been asking me every day “What the heck is going on????” but they’re still giving me eggs! I went out this morning - slipping and sliding through the yard - and collected eggs. One was still quite warm - fresh from the chicken!

I don’t have any snow melt salt, but regular table salt can be used if nothing else is available. Cat litter can also be used to add traction on icy steps and walks, but it doesn’t melt away like ice. So I’d only recommend it if you have nothing better.
