It finally cooled off today with a nice rain. I lost two birds last week due to extreme heat. When it gets to a certain temperature, there is really nothing else you can do. Also, we finally have blue skies.
This is how it looked on Friday. We were at the Wild Horses turn out. The picture below is on the Vantage Bridge. It felt like someone was sitting on your chest. The air quality was terrible.
It is currently 98 degrees here at 2 p.m. We are cooking everything on the George Forman or stove top. It is almost impossible to get the darn house cooled off if we use the oven.
I have been outside putting frozen pop bottles and milk jugs in all my coops. I spent the morning building a new...
Yep. Eastern Washington gets a tiny bit of wind. lol We have everything cemented, nailed, bolted, or bricked at our place. Also, the amount of snow this year would have collapsed any non-peaked roof.
Yep, Faceboook groups and other breed specific online forums are where I'm getting info. I miss the 'local' connection though. Also, I can't get my password to take on my phone. I used to be able to sneak a peak at work. lol
@Leigti I am absent-minded. I forgot to ask you the name of the place in Spokane. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm going to the poor house buying one bag at a time. I have way too many chickens for a bag at a time. ... Maybe I need an intervention versus a feed supplier.. :)
Every time, I get onto the new updated webpage, I spend my time trying to find my favorite threads. It frustrates me so much that I have almost discontinued looking at the site. Instead, I have found some groups on Facebook. I do miss the local connections though. Anyone else feeling the same?
I have looked through 10 pages of posts trying to find more info on the above quote. Did anyone find out the name of the place in Ellensburg? I can find all sorts of bulk feed in Eastern WA for other animals just not chickens. I can take up to a ton.
Del's is closing up here. I don't use them much. There is a North 40 and another feed store here. I am however looking for bulk layer feed. Anyone know where to buy or get it from?
I just realized that I am not a fan of change. The newly designed website takes some getting used to.
And it's been so long since I've had a chance to sit down this spring. I miss everyone. Hatching season is almost over and it seems winter barely left us.
I would like to set up my breeding pens soon. These guys must go to a good home or to chicken and dumplings. If you are interested, please let me know ASAP.
