My girls had a 10 lb bag of ice out there. The loved walking around in it and pecking it. Ice added to the wading pools every 2 hours today.

My broody girl was out at 4 enjoying some of the cool water so that's a plus.

@BlueBaby I just looked because I couldn't remember - we are zone a - southern stuff. I start mine in March with the automatic ship until October.
@meetthebubus I try to grow most of my own - easy peasy in a pot or in the ground. Remember the mint. 3 years growing in a giant pot- never touched by chickens so I planted it in the chicken yard. Those critters stripped the leaves off the stems - didn't eat them - just dropped them down on the ground! I think it will live just fine. My basil is starting to bloom and I generally save the seed. I'm going to drop some in the mint bed. So I'll have basil and mint. Both are not liked by chickens - hahahaha! I've had the same tire full of basil for about 3 years or so.
@Michelle Guynn Welcome back - tent idea is okay - messy and I'd worry about the build up of heat. What about a small coop surrounded by shade cloth like a garden spot? I'm assuming its a HOA/neighbor problem that you are trying to hide the chooks but gardens are usually okay.
@DesertChic still sending positive thoughts your way. Did you go to the Arbico store? I keep saying I'm going to do that as its located in Tucson but I just never seem to have the stamina for doing that and visiting my sister by another mother and Costco! Hang in there I'm thinking of you.
BTW - I have a oncologist appointment at 1pm - I get results of my PET scan. I'm always anxious as this will tell if there is another tumor or not. I'm hoping for no tumor. AND I'm hoping to be able to go off the ugly medicine as its been 18 months without tumors. I'd appreciate good chicken thoughts to keep my anxiety under control. Thanks.

I'm sending lots of love and hopeful thoughts your way. Keep us posted!

And no, I haven't been to the store. Honestly, I didn't even realize there was a store in Tucson. I'll have to consider that and save myself the shipping cost, but I've been so frantic lately I can't imagine when I'll have time to shop in a brick and mortar store.
 
Ugh. hottest day we've seen this year and the stupid pig decides it's time to farrow. But not in her pen or even in the house. Instead, under the bougainvillea where the chickens all take their dust bath! not sure if she's just nesting or really due, but the's super ticket off we chased her inside and won't let her back out there.

Sound's like you may have some baby piglet's on the way! What breed is she?

So it's not just Chickens that can't pick a comfortable time to want/have babies...
