Oh my, are they that old already? How time flies! I have some grow outs that are looking like they need to be moved to a pen with a nest, too, while I decide who the keepers are. Others will be moved into the processing pen, for fattening up. I, too, am waiting for the heat to let up some first.

Good luck with this darn heat wave, Cyn. It is just miserable.
 
I think Friday is the day for the integration. Temps are supposed to be in the low 80's for Friday through Sunday, which is a huge change.


This summer is a killer. Last summer was almost as bad, but I don't recall the humidity being this awful for this long. Can we please have autumn year round? That would be just swell!
 
Cheyenne sweetie, give yourself some credit there miss. You spend an enormous amount of time with your chickens, and in doing so, you observe their behaviors and condition on a daily basis. It would be you, first and foremost, who would recognize a problem in any one of them, long before the average adult with little to no chicken experience could ever hope to notice. You know more than you think you do sweetie!

Cyn, it isn't your imagination on the humidity level. I was just listening to a story on NPR a few days ago. They were commenting on the fact that the south has experienced something like 35% more days of high humidity this summer than in all the years previous since records have been kept.

Hopefully, that just means that you're going to get an extraordinary autumn this year to make up for it!

Kathy, surely you don't mean to fatten up and eat all of those beautiful NHR X BR crosses!?!

Chief and I both would be utterly heart broken to hear of such a plan.

Wouldn't it be far better to send a few of those fine young ladies up north to be part of an outstanding flock of mutts? Chief and I would even be delighted to pay their way here! Hint! Hint! Hint!

Speaking of grow outs: I wish you guys could see my little Del babies!

They're just so gosh darn cute!

Every morning, when I let the whole mongrel horde out to play and eat, Emilio, Madison and Eleanore gather at my feet and follow me, very obediently, over to the gate to the covered run. I open the gate, they file in, and make a bee line for their own little food dish and water bucket!

Such sweet and well behaved little children!

I am constantly amazed at such a calm demeanor and regal bearing for ones so young!

Can I put my 2 cents worth in here? If it were me Kathy, I think I'd hang on to each and every one of them until I knew exactly what they were going to throw in their offspring! Keep them until you're absolutely sure, one way or another, that you can't use them anywhere in your breeding program! Just my 2 cents worth.

I don't know about you, Kathy, but mine is going down at the beginning of the driveway! Sometimes people who don't really know us and don't know about Chief and the girls out free ranging all the time, drive a little too fast for comfort when they come up to the house! Hopefully, this will help slow them down a bit.
