Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Vimeo is not as intrusive as Google.

Will you ever upload all your old videos to Video? Just curious.
Maybe I should use them instead. *gets sucked into youtube by the gVacuum*

It has been very hot here as well. The heat slows me down. And the chooks demand free entrance into my house.
Hope it cools down for you. Would you like some snow?
If your hens are laying their eggs in a individual dirt hole you have bigger problems.
If they are just lazing around under the tree in a individual dirt hole then they are fine.

They are just lazing around in dirt holes trying to stay cool.

So got Tina inside for a bath. Her butt smells...

She liked it.

We started to give her antibiotics today. Sigh. :-(

Hopefully she will be better tomorrow.

Antibiotics usually take 3 days to show any improvement, sometimes longer.

I know. And Phyllis is especially cool!

Same here, too much too fast the poor chooks weren’t moving very fast today, not even the chicks.

Hopefully it will cool off over night for you, that’s my saving grace here - the overnight temps.

It is going down quite low at night. It's already 71°F in the coop right now. It would still be in the 90s without the fan.

That's a good idea. Thanks! It complicates things here with our super long hours of daylight, but I could do it.

Also, I was trying to put the the chicks under her wing and she went kind of ballistic about me touching her wing. I wonder if I would have been better off sliding them directly under her.

I understand what you mean about nerve racking!!!

You have to get up very early.

Always Cool. She exudes it even in the heat. She was not even in a dirty hole today. She was still moving about even in that heat.

That is true. But they require payment to enable sharing only with link. That is why I didn't switch over to them.

In that case the GWorld is more appealing to me.
