TOMTE
Chicks from the Disc
I'm hating this heat wave as much as my girls are, ugh. Poor things can't even get a break at night these past few days.We're down a car, and hubby suggested we do the grocery shopping last night after dinner. Grocery shopping is waaaaay down on his favorite things to do, so I jumped at the chance to have him go with. (Then he can pick out some things he likes, and maybe find a new thing.)
He told me to get the chickens a watermelon (I had it already on the list) and when we got home, he suggested I give them some right then. I cut off the two ends and they got an evening snack to help cool off.
They'll get more today, and it'll be refrigerator temp. I have some slices in the freezer too.
I've been wetting down the soil in the run to give them cooler places to dustbathe.
Yesterday evening I soaked each of their feet in cold water. Magrat was the only one who didn't mind. Esme was okay after a minute. The rest were like, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING TO ME?"
