I just happened to come out to sit on the front sun porch. I can't say that I normally sit here! There is a sign on the door that says, "please use back door". That in itself kind of says that this room is not often used. I noticed something orange on one of the windows. Yada yada. Pay taxes. We are going to sell your house. Blah blah! It scared the poop out of me until I actually read it.

It's under $900, and I have over a year to pay.

I don't know why (yes, I do. I just won't go into it) taxes haven't been paid, but I think I can get it taken care of pretty quick! Oh, the fear I felt! LOL!

OMG yes heart attack!!!!

One has to know their limitations.
Did you see any fly eggs on her?, they're usually around the beak. I butchered a bird this morning and left it in the killing cone while I got set up. When I went out to get it, there were so many fly eggs on the face it looked like feta cheese. I hate butchering this time of year.

Our lab is nearly 3 hours one way. I still carry the birds there because with today's gas prices, it is less expensive and faster to drive. You can drop animals off 24/7, holidays included.

She died inside in the brooder - no fly eggs.

But... Ewwwwww... I hate culling in the summer time. I will need to cull some boys in July - not looking forward to it. Last one I did last week, I never left the carcass, but killed, watched and waited, plucked and processed. Easily half my hand motions during processing was to shoo flies away.

They have been very hardy except in this one aspect, and so far only in two of three hens (and now in one of those hens' offspring). My rooster and the third hen are resistant so far. Goal is to get to where I never have this happen any more. I actually really like them, or I wouldn't bother with all of this. Gotta get through identifying resistance in all first.

Got three of six coops all freshened up, now gotta head to the feed store for more bedding.

Haven't been on here for a while!

I just wanted to let you guys know that I lost 6 chickens to the heat lately. Right now, it's reaching 115 at my house. To keep my birds cool, I put ice in their water's I give them a lot of shade, and I put a fan in there henhouse. Is there any other things I can do to keep them cool? I don't want to loose anymore. I also wet the ground were there laying sod they have a nice cool spot to lay in.
