Ugh! I canceled my Hoover's order today, for the 15 andalusians hatching 9/15. Too much going on right now. I had to order some fencing to reinforce the bottom of my chain link. Two days in a row the girls were getting under it. The neighbors had cleared brush away, giving my birds a path in that I never saw before. We're going to move back up north, probably having to weather another summer in black canyon first. Once back up there, I'll go back to the sapphire gems and other sex link type birds. That way, if someone leaves a gate open, at least the birds come back easily. Too stressful trying to herd andalusians, as sweet as these girls are. So these four can move with me, I just don't want any more, and nothing else survives the heat here well enough to suit me. For now, I'll just be happy to get through the rest of August. Looking forward to cooler temps, and being able to take the portable cooler out of the coop/run.
.. This is what hit us here last Monday. ALL my chickens are fine BTW.
