    Frail chook with messy bottom

    We have three beautiful aracana-cross chickens (don't know exactly how to spell that but they're aka lavenders). All three are females and are approximately four years old.

    Too hot to wait

    It is super hot today, 103 right now. We have five chickens, and two were raised by our broody hen. They won't let us touch them. It is their first summer hot enough to give our animals ice water, but they won't touch it. How do I get them to drink? Too hot to wait!
