California - Northern

I hope everyone in the Hot parts of the North Sate are ready for the heat wave coming up!

I need to keep an eye on the orbit misting heads. I have had trouble with them clogging up this summer.

I'm in the south bay and not looking forward to the 100+ temps coming.

Weather starts to climb today and tomorrow is in the 100's what are you doing to keep the animals cool? I've got watermelon rinds in the freezer.

It will be a bad one! I hope we do not have too many heat waves this summer

That is a nice idea!

Hello, I have been away from BYC for years but my flock is going and growing and crowing strong. I will be travelling up Interstate 5 from Williams to Cottonwood tomorrow and I have a broody who would really like some fertile eggs. I do not currently have a rooster in my flock so I am not able to help her out. I will be heading back from Cottonwood sometime around 12:30 and would love to pick up a half dozen on my way back towards Williams. PM me or reply if you can help a hen out. Thanks!

Hi Ron! Wondered if you were still hanging out here.

Hi Ron! Wondered if you were still hanging out here.

Kind of. The thread is mostly about re homing roosters now.

It is good to see you back!

Frozen watermelon, a head of cabbage that I tie up with a string (cabbage tether ball, to relieve boredom), extra bowls with ice water, a shade umbrella and a fan. I do have mister that I will bring out tomorrow.

I have the misting system on now!
