BYC Café

Good Morning,
1st coffee is ready and it tastes so nice. I was so busy this morning trying to get everything ready for dogs and chickens because we will be getting 35C=95F today, it has started already, sticky humid and the loud sound of insects is deafening. Tomorrow will be 37C=98F.

Even the wild birds try to drink water from the chicken areas. That is spelling trouble and more trouble. I had put a big bucket of water at the front of the house so the wild birds can drink, but there is a river a few streets away.


I treated that 2 hens yesterday with Kilverm individually because they do not drink it when I put in their drinking water. I do that individually so it will take a while to get the whole flock treated.

I just checked, this med treat round worms also, that is good!!!

Today and tomorrow having extreme heat, the Kilverm stated that "contraindicated for use in extremely hot weather" so on these 2 days I can not treat them.

I can not stop their water before bed and give this as their only source of water, if they still not drinking it, it will be very bad in this extreme hot weather.

It is only 7:15am over here, my chickens are already wings out, open mouths and all sitting still. I have a big bucket ready to dip them into when they start to open/close their eyes with open mouth breathing.

Extreme cold over there, extreme heat over here.....

Keep warm, stay safe and I keep cool

I used to put shallow pans of water out for chickens when it was very hot. Cool off the feet, cool off the body.

Good morning and thanks for the hot coffee! I need it...
I rolled in from TX last night, (15.5 hr drive one way is a 31 hour tour of driving fun!) My bro passed on Friday night and now I have all of his personal papers and some stuff at my house. My TX ranch friends were a huge help with a trailer to get the storage stuff and a free place to stay. Plus, I got to pet one of the baby porkchops!
Now the paperwork nightmare begins. He was as proactive in financials as he was in the reality of death. Phone pin- NO!, computer password- NO!
I guess I wait for his DC and then go protect his accounts,
but I will at least call them today.
I am tired and my brain is fried. Coffee- up cowgirls and cowboys!
