It looks good right up to next Tuesday, high teens, low twenties.I get it. Really I do. You need a week and a half of cool weather then. What is the forecast like?

Thanks RC, I'll do my best with what I've got, and maybe that'll be enough.I have a lot of confidence in you. I must admit I don’t think I could cope!
Let's hope that forecast holds. If you have to cut it short by a couple of days it's not that big a dealIt looks good right up to next Tuesday, high teens, low twenties.
Of course it will. Chickens are very adaptable. Food and water and they will be ok.Thanks RC, I'll do my best with what I've got, and maybe that'll be enough.
Do they have some form of grit for their gizzard? Just thinking that they may not have access to ground for a while. Maybe they already are stocked up from their previous home.One last update before turning my attention to my day's work, I saw one refugee take a sip of water and from some spillage, it was clear they'd been at the pellets too. Now they've got straw and hay, I'm sure they'll take on plenty of roughage too.
I've removed everything from the laundry that might've been toxic or dangerous for them. So I feel like I've done all I can for now.
Aww, sweethearts!Here are the refugees.

I showed them the food and water, then left them in peace to adjust at their own pace.
I'll make time to get some straw and a to set up a nest before I go to the office. Then they'll have the day to settle in before I start bothering them again late afternoon.
I generally quarantine for two weeks.Let's hope that forecast holds. If you have to cut it short by a couple of days it's not that big a deal
Not yet, thank you for reminding me. I'll take care of that once I'm home.Do they have some form of grit for their gizzard? Just thinking that they may not have access to ground for a while. Maybe they already are stocked up from their previous home.
Once the ground here got covered in snow, I got the hens some, but it doesn't seem to be that popular, so perhaps grit lasts a long time.![]()
I love my Rhode island reds! I have three and they are awesome ladies.She didn't know about the pullets.
These hens have been displaced from their home by rising flood water. They belonged to Aunty's close friends.
I would never have chosen Rhode Island Reds.
Well, I don’t always plan things out properly either.Sorry for the stream of consciousness everyone!
