Arizona Chickens

@igorsMistress Buster growls and barks at the thunder, but turn on thing's like an electric razor or the vacuum cleaner, and he's out of there! Oh, and he run's away if I have a new born chick in my hand that is peeping!

Yes, and Buster likes to act like he think's that he's a human, but he always give's himself away!

The ants are active on rebuilding the mounds again today after the rain, but I've been out there taking care of that! I'm seeing less and less of them now since I declared war on them!

Most of the ants are gone with the ant stakes, the bubus are back to foraging where they couldn't stand before really easy method

Sweltering heat could have your backyard chickens roasting, if you don't tend to your flock

I was just telling hubby today how lucky we have been this summer with the ants and the flies. Previous years have brought an obnoxious amount of both, but we barely have any ant hills this year and the flies are in smaller numbers. I do have a much better system for containing the chicken poop this year, last year it was tossed into a pile right in the garden, which turned into a breeding ground for flies. This year the poop is in a closed waste receptacle and dumped weekly into the desert, so it composts far from the house/coop area. No clue where the ants have gone this year but I don't miss them one bit!

I'm trying my best to get those ant's that have the wing's on them, because those are the breeders!

Storm surprise at 4 am today it was much appreciated bc boy did it cool,down!

Lots of cuddles this morning with the bubus bc it was so cool,and breezy a blessing before it heats up temporarily

Anyone else get rain?

We got a light rain this morning. It was really nice out for a couple of hours and we were able to sit outside and BBQ this afternoon. A couple of the girls came over to check if there was any fruit to be had even with extra people around.
