In the emergency of a natural disaster where do you move your chickens?

Yep, will take all we can get, we don’t get it often enough

Same here.

Hey keep the noise down over there, your sobs are too loud on top of the thunder

We got a little rain here last few days. Dams are a little fatter. 🌧🌧🌧

ive been stressing for 2 months now on what to do. The green wattle creek fire came about 6km from my place. We’ve had our stuff packed since early December. We got crates ready and would just grab whatever chooks ducks we could manage and the rest would have to stay behind. If a fire gives us enough warning we will knock down some of the back fence so the animals will hopefully head to the creek down the back.
in the mean time I’ve been filling the ponds repeatedly, putting buckets and tubs of water everywhere and leaving feed out for all the critters, even some poor wild ones who are displaced.

i really dislike summer. I think I need to move to Norway or something.

Your fire plan is almost identical to ours except we don’t have ducks and it wasn’t the green wattle creek fire that came near us. We had it 4 k’s from our place, it’s raining now here. Our plan was to get the horse and dogs and let the other animals go should need be. It’s the closest I have ever seen a fire get to us

ok so after a few false starts, it really got going, was sideways at one point....all over now, ended up with 8mls in the rain gauge.

gives us 18mls for January so far. Which is 17.2 mls more than December got

We’re getting some thunder! Bom said 80% chance of rain. So I decided to make sure it happened and hung some washing out. You’re all very welcome

hope you’re all getting a bit of rain, or at least some relief from fire stress.

We just had an extremely brief thunderstorm. Thanks! It lasted not even 6 minutes
