I use a nikon d60, and LOVE it. I have mostly nikkor lenses, but one tamron just got it this year and it is awesome.

Means they were hot. Lots of coons and other night time animals get out during the day when temps get this warm. Their dens get to hot.

And there is NN out there with feathered feet.

If you cross the NN with a FF I think you could get one but a true NN would be clean legged. Someone that knows more about genetic's may correct me.

LOOOVE the little red barn coop!!!!!!!!!

The gene for feathered feet is dominant to clean legged so all offspring from a bird pure for feathered leg to a bird with clean leggs will be featherlegged.

Just got back from visiting some folks in Vinita who raise amazing La Mancha goats. If anyone out there is looking for milk goats, send me a PM and I'll pass on the info. Here are the three little ladies I'm picking up after our pasture fences and goat shed are ready. I'm aiming for the last week in July. I wanted to carry them home today, but keeping them in the garage until their goat house is ready is not an option

The first is an Alpine, La Mancha cross, and the other two are pure La Mancha.

Chickens are hot, hot, hot, but hanging in there. I have been watering pens and filling empty dog dishes with water for the hens to stand in. We sure could use some rain.

Poco - are my eyes deceiving me, or are those goats earless?

Free chicken baths at the henhouse

Hi y'all. Been off here a while, too hot to do much but give my little chicky girls baths in this heat. My 2 naked necks had such hot necks but I set them by a little water trough in the coop that has cool water and give them hand baths. They hold very still if I talk quietly and then I can wash them off on feet, face, neck and belly. I feel oil on my hands afterwards and hope it won't hurt them to have a daily cool bath for a few min. the young ameracaunas get the same thing and are so tame. The heat is hard on them so I put wet burlap in the south coop windows and twice a day I spray the entire outside metal/wood coop with a shower of cool water and a little inside. Cools things down a bit. We've had 106* heat indexes and 100 real temps.
I even take handfuls of cool water and wash the older girls faces and combs with cool water while they are on the nests panting away. I'm still getting 10-13 eggs a day and I'm surprised since it's so hot.
Hope everyone's animals survive the heat this summer. I've only lost 1 baby ameracauna so far. Bath time will come every afternoon as long as it stays hot.

My choc. is chilled in the fridge, as is my watermelon, tea and ice water. A neighbor and I are going over to Gentry, Ark. to the Little Debbie store and get some treats. We're going at 7 a.m. since they open at 6:30, that way we'll get back in time to cool off the critters.

Be Cool y'all!

Kassaundra I love your easter egger pics. I have some babies that are colored like yours and a snow white one named Snowy Cheeks. I've got 4 adults and the 3 babies. They are so awesome!
