The flooding where I am at was all in designated flood areas (as far as I know). The city has planned well for this type of thing. I added up all the rainfall totals at my house and got 20.7" of rain in May.
No chicks for me this year. I tried a duckling but discovered I am allergic to...

My chicks came today! I have 5 bantam buff cochins and 5 bantam Delaware. I will only be keeping 2-4 of them though - had to meet the minimum to order them.
