Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

[ronott1]

Hello ! I haven't logged in for quite some time. I lost two of my chickens last year. One to a hawk and another one, who had previously seemed healthy died in the night. But the rest of my flock is doing well. I have 2 ducks and 11 chickens (one of them I recently rescued from a hard life running around town - she's doing great now! ) It has been a super hot summer here in Nor Cal so I have been doing all I can to keep everyone cool, including installing 3 fans in my chicken coop, placing out water pans for them to stand in and misters to keep their favorite area cooler.

I am sorry you lost the two!

It has been very hot this summer. My PGE bill this month is crazy high!

Between marriages, school and sports you do have a lot going on!

I hope you get some time to enjoy the birds.

Thank you for checking in. We really appreciate your website - it's an incredible resource!

We lost one of our Barred Rock hens to (what we think was) sour crop coupled with extreme heat (100+F) a couple weeks ago, but the rest of the hens are doing very well.
They've been getting plenty of grit with their food and electrolytes in their water.

The heat has been terrible this summer.

We have such a vibrant community here at BYC... tons of active friendly members. Of course, life gets busy, so I was thinking it would be fun to start a thread welcoming some of our peeps we haven't heard from in a while.

If that's you, come say hello and let us know what you've been up to.

(if that's not you, feel free to invite peeps you haven't seen in a while and say hi to those that post here)

I just started a new flock this spring. so I had no chickens to brag about!

Hi all-thanks for reaching out! I didn't realize how long its been altho I do cruise by now & then usually looking for an emergency solution. I have one again,today but,this probably isn't the right place to write about it. We have about 20 chickens 6 of them roosters. Nobody wants roosters even 'tho they are such characters. (Or they want to eat them!)We have 6 cats (people keep dropping them off!) and a large collieXmirima.I am really into gardening especially flowers.I am grateful for sites like this one. They have taught me everything I know about chickens and goats!

Thanks Nifty for touching base! I have been absent a while bc we had a great racoon massacre last summer. I think I posted some but replies were a little discouraging. Every coup and run are different. I was made to feel a little guilt and was not starting a new flock yet. I bought a new incubator and plan to hatch soon, so I do plan to return to the forum. Happy Chicks!
