They now say Isaac will track up along the Arkansas/oklahoma border, batten down the hatches out there, be safe!

That will be good for my Oklahoma friends. They are praying for the rain from Isaac.

We got our first egg yesterday!!!!! I think it was Ruby our white leghorn. It is perfect, kinda small, but nice and hard and good shape. Of course it is my luck that they start laying in a hurrican!!

But oh well, I built a bunny hutch that is attached to the chicken coop hopefully they all will stay mainly dry? Well hope all is good and safe after the storm for everyone! Looking forward to the rain but not the caos that follows!

I plan on eating lunch, then going out to batten down the hatches. Added some sheet metal to the top of the runs of pens we had not finished yet. Birds are in the coops, but the runs were uncovered. I mowed and bagged our ditches yesterday evening. had the kids with a wheel barrel and 5 gal buckets hauling the grass clippings to the coops. Each coop received one bag of grass. Then Danyelle finished mowing the poultry paddock and placed that in the Narrganasett turkey/Blue Orpington pen. Have to remember to turn our feed cans around. Normally our storms come from the south west. This is coming from the south. Will also place something heavy on the lids.

Mom said she read on the local news site or somewhere that we may lose electricity for a bit. If so, I will use the jump starter with an inverter to run the incubator. If that dies, will run an extension cord to the truck's inverter.

the heavy rain just hit with high winds. Looked out back and everything looks secure.

Good luck with it and stay safe. I'm waiting to see where the center of this thing goes. If you are on the east side you'll get a lot more rain and probably wind than on the west side. I'm hoping to get at least an inch out of it but three inches would probably be enough to put some water in those farm ponds. I don't see any benefit to getting a lot of wind either.

It is raining steady and hard, but the wind has not been bad. I'm going to go out in a bit and check the chickens. I can see from the house that all the pens are standing, at least. We did have one flip over in a storm last year.
