Do we know if we have any members directly affected by the fires? Is there support or assistance that is needed?

The main fire that was a threat here is under control, we are now under the most sickening smoke screen you can imagine. Although my chickens are doing okay, I can tell it is impacting them.

I was thinking about the Carlton Complex fire which is still zero percent contained and growing. I'm in Whitman County, so not super close. But am open to ideas to help. Already donated to Red Cross.

Any one here ever read a book called the big burn? Is about the 1910 for in the Wallace area, this sounds kinda simular.

Just added some new members to the flock. Finally got my Light Sussex, Welsummer, and Blue Copper Marans chicks. I also got my first egg from my spring chickens... wish I had taken a pic, it was a perfect, tiny little olive-colored egg out of a welsummer/cream Legbar cross hen. Also added some new four-legged members to the farm!
