Arizona Chickens

[Geranium]

So I accidentally wasn't home at sundown tonight. When I got home it wasjust after full dark. I went to check on the chickens immediately and they were all huddled together in the box. I don't know how much screaming and pacing happened before they managed to get in the box, but in the end they did it all by themselves! They'll be five weeks on Monday, and seem to be opting to use the box and not the brooder plate, so I think I'll take it out once this rain passes.

Oh, those speckled sussex! They are still on my list of I wants.......

You should get some once you are ready for more... if they are anything like Picasso they are curious, brave, love to flap wings, friendly, sweet.... I hear this breed is similar

Stubborn eggers won't reside in coop a few got soaked... now in shelter the worst soaked chicken I took in to blow dry much happier have a couple more a bit too wet... with the temps now, no sun u think they can get hypothermia? It's not like monsoon where it's 100 degrees.... any experience with this?

My dingy girls have done fine. They were out in the rain we had last week pretty much all day.

My girls are just fine. It isn't cold out there and the rain isn't cold. I have some that are wet - you know wet hen wet. Since I have a few tree dwellers I know I'm always having a few wet girls. They seem just fine - even my molting ones. Don't worry. Even though I have lots of covered places but I still wish I had more.

I hope we have a break in the rain this afternoon. I want to take Emma and the babies out along with Matilda.

I wonder how chickens ever survived on their own before people took them in, and how that one saying ever came about as madder than a wet hen?

Tigger sure wasn't happy she looked like she was dunked a few times in a water bucket I've never blow dried a chicken before but I did her... She actually liked it, and that is sayin a lot for this one who is so skittish with me and won't ever be handled lol

Rain is supposed to be worse tomorrow, but we will get a break today
