Thinking of submitting these 2.. well drat, the cheryl photo is kinda blurry & has text, but have it with no text... and came out 2x. I had 2 of Claire, the Millie fluer, delete 1 and now spell check, ugh no guarantees on what gets posted .

Wow, she's beautiful, very fluffy

Even better! I am very interested in taking 2 of the silkies then, just let me know when you have decided which you are willing to part with and how much you would like for them.

I just sent you a message to your inbox here.

Boy, is it hot out there! I tried to get out there to the coop to empty out the water tub's and bowls and put clean water for the flock, and filled in some of the holes they dug to dust bathe in. It took me two trip's, as I was sweating and had to come back in the house to re-hydrate and cool off. I got it done, though.

How is everyone else doing?

I've been out in the coop as well, I'm with you, it's to bloody hot out there for much, the run extension is done for Charlie and the harem to have more room. The main flock is confused..lol, they can't seem to understand why it is that they can't get to the original gate now. you might want to get you a small cooler to take with you for water, I have a small cooler bag that will hold 6 bottles of water with three bottles of frozen water, either small Gatorade's or water bottles. Keeps things cool and I've got water with me at all times. Ended up having to take the egg out last night that had the hole in it. lifted the lid to candle and it had a off smell, so it came out, I am willing to bet that I have one that isn't fertile. The rest (4 of them) are doing well, getting lots of veining.

I'm sitting here thinking about what I'm going to do with these chicks! It's too hot to move them outside so I'll have to set up a larger brooder inside. Will clean it up after work and get a tarp for the floor today. Probably move the big girls tomorrow. They need more space to run around and the tinys need a chance to catch up.

I got it all done anyway's, and I do have cold bottles of spring water in the fridge. @rghowell just left here a few minutes ago with 2 of the silkies.

Even Prescott is hot! 95 today in the yard. A couple of drops of rain, but the Monsoon seems to have skipped us this year.

@cactusrota I got a pullet egg already! They're 19 weeks tomorrow.

AND even in this ugly heat I have molting going on. NN mostly I'm thinking but I am seeing a few tail and heads getting more bald. I've not had a molt quite so early. Getting a few eggs here and there - I consider myself lucky with heat and molt. This ugly 110 plus heat all week. Stay safe friends. I'm hanging in there.........
