I have eggs just no power. Was thinking of joining this year but power company will be turning power off tomorrow due to wind and fire danger. Will be turned back on when the wind quits. I glad they are being safe but it will require a different life style here from on. The generator I have will be used to run the refrigerators.

I'm sorry you're caught up in all of that! How in the heck do people manage in summer with power being shut off during hot weather?

Really hoping the winds die down quickly and they don’t have too turn power off.
I actually have to sell some of the birds I have before getting more as well.
One good thing, I’ve been able to free range some of them without losses to critters lately. They have really weeded the yard for me. In years past I wouldn’t be able too.

I hope they don’t have to! :fl

And aw that stinks! But makes total sense.

I’m hoping maybe next year I’ll be able to hatch something. I really want quail next but I’ve never had them before so I would need to build or buy cages and I just don’t really have the time or money to set up a whole new species right now. Plus got a million other things to focus on. But hopefully next year. :fl
