Another heat wave headed our way starting Sunday, a week of mid-high 80's.
UHG!
Gonna get a couple outdoor tasks done before then(I think).

Something dug up a big hole near the pondsai this morning....hmmmm.

It weighed 3.8 oz.

Zorra laid a couple that were a bit larger than that when she was something over a year old. Yeah, sure looked like they would be painful. She thankfully cut back on size until she hit her stride of XL's.

I learned something new today! 3 of the new hens hopped the rodent fence into the garden... My DH could not get them out and came in to get me to help but then did not follow me into the garden to help. I tried being nice getting them to hop out but they were playing dumb. I now know that if you pick up a handful of dirt and wing it at them while screaming, "Jump, Forrest, Jump!", they hop, jump, and fly out of there like they are on fire! My DH didn't know what to think as I was laughing my bahookie off. He was speechless and I am still giggling...

We got the coop addition done. Man, am I tired. I'm not used to standing all day long, like I did when I was at work.

I turned the heat plate off for the littles today. I hope to move them to their area of the coop (the addition) on Sunday or Monday. They'll be shut in the coop for a few days, then get their own area of the run for a "look, don't touch" integration period.

Looove this!

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

We had a wonderful day of rain and thunderstorms yesterday. The ground soaked it all up like a sponge but it sure did help. We have more rain coming tomorrow and Saturday.

My entire family is taking a break from our battle against CS to attend the 41st Annual Owego Strawberry Festival this Saturday morning. We plan to get there before everything fully opens to just stroll around then leave before it starts to get too hot and too crowded.

Have fun and enjoy yourselves!

The littles survived their first night off heat just fine. Now I need to get the brooder plate out of there so they can learn what the huddle box is for.

DL, have a great time at the strawberry festival. That sounds like a lot of fun. And the break from CS sounds like a really good idea.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee.

Good morning! Back to clouds and cool weather with a decent chance of rain.
Snow in the high country. The passes will be treacherous this summer!
Sunday is the first day of no rain even mentioned in a very long time.
I saw chickens eyeballing the garden, but no brave souls. LOL!
We will put a higher fence up to keep out the newbies.
