Hot Chicks And Cold Chicks, Getting Creative With Booze

Think of wearing a down coat in 110 degree weather and that's what you've got. Their little bodies are covered with feathers. Most chickens do quite well in the winter until it gets to be below zero.


Backyard chicken expert Jana Wilson is back for the third and final installment of our series discussing the ins and outs of raising chickens. Tom Berich and Aleisha Kropf join her to talk about preparing their birds for the upcoming winter months.

Before that, Rick Fredericksen of Harvest Public Media takes a look at how the drought-resistant corn crop fared during this year's drought.

Then we visit The Big Red Beerfest where local microbreweries share a showroom floor with the likes of Miller and Coors.

And in the kitchen, two adult recipes -- one for a martini using garden-fresh verbena and another for a drunken watermelon fruit bowl.
