Hate to say it after the spring we had, I could sure use some rain my direction

one of the recent storms just killed off both my Narragansett, and Golden Narragansett pouts... and managed to find new homes for 13 of my 19 roosters (5 of the 6 i have left are 2 months old, and the 6th one is their father)... but hopefully next week i will have a few poults (my incubator is averaging 42% - 46% humidity, and keeping the temp at 99.8 degrees), i am really hoping for poults, its hard to keep them alive when everything in my neighborhood wants to have them for dinner

as for my breeder turkeys, my Tom, and 2 hens are doing much better now since i put fresh hay in their coop, but the hens have stopped laying eggs for the summer, so the 13 eggs in the incubator are my last chance for babies from my flock, and my family is eagerly awaiting the day the poults I ordered from Porters arrive

Sorry to hear about your poults. My hens are about done for the year also. Only getting 2-3 eggs a day when 2 weeks ago I was getting 6-8 a day.

Huh.... I still get 5 to 8 turkey eggs a day.... silly things dont know how to tell time of year here. Last year several layed straight through fall.

Daisy is slowing down too. It might be the heat. Its awful here.
Feedman....Memphis is going to get a pile of rain. Looks like it should stay east of you....hopefully!

We have had a ton of rain too... but if I don’t get rain in a couple days with this heat I will be forced to water my sand dunes garden.

Tomorrow is suppose to be another rain day. I think our last rain was Monday.

R2elk, hazard a guess on this guy. I really like him and assume he is some kind of bronze.... but

Wow. He's got a ton of different feather patterns. How interesting!

I'm bragging....but my penciled poults is really getting pretty. I'll try to update pics tomorrow between hurricane deluges. The mottled is a few weeks behind with its juvie feathers so looks kind of scruffy right now!

Looking forward to the updated pics. Send just a bit of that rain up here?

A lot of grey showing. Narri x palm or opposite cross. Can't remember all your birds. Is that a possible cross
