Wow I had a busy morning. Just got to work a hour ago. 9:30 I had a apraiser come because every 5 years we have to refinance because we dont have a fixed interest rate, went to court house to pay speeding ticket Rrrrr I never have to pay tickets, 3 extensions later all I got was for it not to go on my record but still cost $205, thats why I use my cruise control now lol. Last month I didnt get my new regestraition in for my truck so I went to DMV to get duplicate, at least that didnt cost me and got my truck inspected few I did enough running around today. I should have just taken a vacation day because I lost half the day.

Anyway wish it would stop raining my chicken runs are a mess. Although I sometimes think they enjoy the rain. I think if I where a chicken I would rather rain than it be 100 degrees.

I've had ducks for a few years but never had chickens for a hole year, generally when do they (chickens) start to molt around here?

Yes,.. it was like hurricane rain,.. hard and non stop,.. just hanging out over Lacombe and Slidell. We got to the end of the street and had to wade through the water to our neighbors house and they were bailing water out of the kitchen and trying to dig a trench out to the ditch,.. it was a mess,. I feel so bad,.. we got it mostly all out before we and the other neighbors left,.. but the floor is a goner. I think a gutter is a great idea,..

there is nothing we can do,.. we we moved here 20 yrs ago we were the high ground,.. over the years folks have moved in and built around us adding more and more dirt until we are a bowl,.. I'm thinking of just giving up trying top fight the water and building a pier and raising crawfish in the backyard!

I hope your lake recedes soon

Wow thats crazzy, did I understand correctly? You dont have water in your house though right?
I hope the water recedes soon too thats crazzy!​

Wow! Sounds like you have a real situation there. Do the chickens have a way to stay away from the water? You just taught me a very important lesson in building my new chicken coops --I need to have an area of the coops lifted off the ground and something that I can close in case of flooding. I wanted to build a space in the coop where I can cage the birds in the event of hurricanes since I can't take them all with me.

I am so sorry that you're going through this ordeal. I'll keep you and your neighbors in my prayers. Take care!

We're Ok thanks,.. just miserable,.. my neighbor at the low end of the road had water in the house,... it came so hard and so fast,..and didn't stop for hours,.. after it had been tracking rain over us for days,.. I don't like the idea of the chickens being under my house because of the poop,.. but it was the only refuge for them and that's where they've spent the last week,,.. it looks like we will be adding even more dirt around the coop and maybe building a French Drain,..

it was coming under the house and if it hadn't stopped when it did the flock would have had no dry place,.. I took picks but didn't get pics of the worst of it because we took off to help the neighbors,.. The weather all over the country is so bad and frightening,.. this just sort of jolted us awake to get prepared for something worse. I hope everyone else is OK out here,..


I too thought "Westlake is in the house" meant that you had water in the house!! Glad it's not!

Welcome to you and 1MrsMagoo!





OH NO!!!! Here it comes again,.. more rain!
