Hi everyone!
I'm sorry about some of you losing chickens and pets.

This heat is just awful. We usually buy eggs from my husband's uncle. They have like 20 hens? We bought all they had a couple weeks ago and called yesterday and not only did they not have a single egg but also lost a hen to the heat. Age probably has something to do with it too - I think this is their 3rd year? (hatchery layers)- they just stopped laying I guess. So I am going to have to stock up at the store- unless I can make it to the farmers market tomorrow and get some there.
Anyone live in Redding area selling eggs for eating? I'm in the market to buy. I'm so spoiled- I have such a hard time eating store bought ones. hehe I usually 4-6 dozen at a time but even 2 dozen is super helpful!
3 of my ducks and 4 of my hens are getting ready to hit 20 weeks...patiently waiting...the other ducks are about 17 weeks old. And the first batch of chickens are like 14 weeks? LOL It's so staggered!
