***OKIES in the BYC III ***

@hotcurltr I am so sorry about your dil. Hoping for a good recovery. Kidney "failure" isn't always permenant sometimes it just need "support" until it can heal enough to start functioning on it's own again.

There are a number of videos on YouTube on keeping chickens cool when it is really hot. In one, a home grower in Phoenix (117 degrees) took a wide, shallow, round plastic container (apparently found in hardware stores) and placed bricks that came just above the water level and his girls stood on them repeatedly (alternating to get food, water) and they weren't even panting. In fact, they looked like they loved it. If it gets over 104 here and my girls are panting, I'm going to try that!

@hotcurltr Im so sorry, I read your post last night as I was falling asleep and it was the first thing on my mind this morning. I hope you got some rest and I hope you update with good news. Sounds like a long road to recovery.

Yes many do. I don't know the ratio, but don't think it has to be overly precise I think a "glug" is a water container would work. I have never done it though.

Any takers with the possibility of a blue egg gene in him?

Robin, my roosters will flirt with juvenile boys so Mumbles may be wrong. My big Cornish boy escorts the 2 juvenile Brahma boys all over the yard, feeds them and rests with them. But with an adult male he's pretty aggressive.

Been working hard on the rabbitat this week, almost ready to post pics, maybe tonight. It won't be finished pics, but enough to see where I am going w/ it. Will be able to separate the male and female today, so when she delivers her 3rd litter (maybe next week) he won't be able to get her preggers again until I say so.
