MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

And she has a delightful personality too I love all three of them dearly I think Mary is slowly building trust in me, but it's hard to tell for sure.

She may be remembering the time she got dunked in the bath.

She does consider herself part duck, so maybe you're right

Another hot day

It's 40.9C outside (that's 105.6F) which is hot enough for me to worry about the hens.

Usually I enclose the hens in their henhouse, ice the water, provide esky ice blocks for them to sit or stand on, and start the misting.

At lunchtime, I did all that and I also provided a gently overflowing bucket of water in a shady corner of the yard. Then I left their doir open so they could choose their preferred methos of keeping cool.

I've just popped out to check on them and this is what I found.

Janet digging in the wet, shady corner.

Sandy and Mary being chickens in the mist.

So I guess both methods measure up just fine

Cool change tomorrow!! All the way down to 22C

It's really, really hot Nancy. MJ is going to go from 106F to 71.6F

My girls channel their inner duck from time to time.

Your Mary looks like my Charlie; panting in the hot weather.
