Hi all! I confess to having been lurking on this thread for quite some time now. I tried to read all of the pages to date, however, there is so much information that it is a bit difficult. Wanted to thank all of you for being so informative. I am learning a lot and feeding my chicken addiction. Thanks again! This is a great thread.

Wow Vicki that heat sound bad! I hope you and the birds make it OK.

It has cooled her and is raining almost daily. Last night we got a lot of rain. I had an email from the guy I gave some little roos and pullets too and he said 26 drown in the rain. He said there was 6 inches of water in the pen

I had another guy call me last night and ask if I had anymore pullets for him. He got them a couple of days ago and they were only 2-3 and having had them for all of 1 day he let them out, one ran into the woods and his dog got another so now he only had the 1. WTH?

BTW I am getting a started pair of BLRW and a SLW roo from the Foleys as soon as I can arrange a day to drive 4hrs to pick them up

I saw that in the wyandotte thread lady! Congrats. I've been toying with the idea of getting some silver pencileds again if I can make the drive up to Urch's. Its about 5 hours for me and used to drive right by them for the 10 years I lived in Mpls...

I don't know what to say about the animals. Its crazy for the weather to hold on like this. I just picked up my car from getting a brake line changed and the shop owner was saying he was listening to the radio and they were saying we have another few months of this heat for the most part, he said he thought the guy said October when things would finally start to cool down. I am praying they are wrong. Luckily the 24 pks of water I'm buying will be on sale for 2.88 when I get to work. I'm gonna stock up so I have enough to rotate, I'm guessing I'll need three batches going to keep up with the water changes throughout the day.

Congrats on the Wy's Donna. I decided after all the trouble I had trying to get that other BLRW roo that I just didn't want to monkey with them anymore.

Have 10 eggs from my project Blue Laced Barnie girl, Stoo that are slated to get into the incubator, for now, BL-Barnies are going to have to suffice my itch for the blue lacing.
