I did get a little yesterday. It wasn't a hard downpour though. It was nice and steady for a bit, but not quite enough for me to test out those new Slogger's that I bought last month though.

I got over an inch night before last. Not expected to get any more rain though.

Raining for about an hour here now just north of Prescott.

Did it add enough to your lazy river?

IDK if its the SD toad but I kinda doubt it. We are dry but maybe above the elevation of most large SD cacti except prickly pear and some yucca and jumping cholla. I'll have to look into that. I know hens have eaten at least one with no ill effects.

The skin on pretty much all frogs, and toads can be toxic. Some to more degree than others. Including the frogs people eat. (frog legs). You never see a gravy from frog skins at the restaurants.
But frogs are not toxic to all animals/birds. Storks make a diet of frogs.

Spoiler: Just for CHEERS ☺☺☺

I'm pretty sure that they remove the skin before they cook them.

Haven't been out in it yet, but I think we got about 1/2" so ~probably~ overflowing!

@Stacaroni Are you sure that you don't want to try another hatch next month? You might get another Borg chick.

I don't know if I can afford another bomb of a hatch!

You wouldn't have anything against brown egg's do you? I'm not really hatching from my own flock right now, but I do have fertile egg's.

In all seriousness, as fantastic as Bielefelders are, I need a break from the little stinkers anyway. Having 4 different age groups that all hate each other is exhausting.
