Arizona Chickens

I was referring to how I obtained my chickens. I keep a closed flock.

Gosh...I had myself rolling over here. I am a bad jokester.

A new feature to my yard and a bad new habit for the pooch. Found the pooch coming out of the coop today why an egg gently clutched in her teeth. She set it down, rolled over it a few times, picked it up and ran to the other side of the yard. I went jaunting quickly through the house, swung open the back door as she laid down to do what ever it was she planned to do. She, then came running for the door as I ran for the egg. The egg had no cracks in it at all, it was rinsed and placed in the fridge. A few hours later, I saw her chasing a new back yard feature, a squirrel. I didn't even know we had squirrels in this part of town (far east mesa on the edge of the desert), I don't recall ever seeing one other than in a very dense park. Very strange. Wonder if it'll come back. Now my husband thinks the snakes are next.

How is everyone's flock doing during this heat? It is going to be a long summer worrying about the girls everyday

I have the misters running, ice block in the coop every morning and fresh water daily. I guess there isn't much more I can do. They seem to be doing ok although I do notice a little panting.

And it's only May!

What a long hot summer ahead. On the bright side, I see that the temps are forecast to dip below 100 here in Tucson by the weekend.

I'm not into gambling, just wanna see the sights.

Mine are doing a bunch of panting.

I come home from school and a couple are dripping wet.

The smart ones are hanging out under the mister.
