LadyHawk, you have that a bit backwards. Why should you be the one knocked out for the duration of the Wicked Witch of the East's visit? You'd be missing out on quality time with your family and animals if you did. Just give the tranquilizers to WWE and knock HER out!! Yes! That's the ticket! A drug induced coma would work nicely. Any time you don't feel like putting up with her crap, just slip a tranq into her coffee/tea/cold drink/food/whatever and off to laa laa land she goes!

You really must think these things through more clearly dear.

You most certainly can be forgiven for not though. The threat of a three month visit from the WWE would rattle even the most stalwart soul!

KATHY!! Where the heck is our surprise? Please tell me Mike made it home, safe and sound, with feathered surprises well in hand!?! Come on girl!! We need a report here!!!!!!

Inquiring mind simply must be informed!

RIP Mr Mottled.....my mottled cochin rooster.

He was my FAVORITE of all the chickens.

 

[Inkheart]

What??? so sorry!

 

[Serrin]

Oh Nella! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not Mr. Mottled!!

What happened!?! I'm so sad to hear that he is gone. He was such a beautiful boy!

 

[speckledhen]

Janelle, what happened? Sorry to hear that!

 

[NellaBean]

Not sure, probably the heat. He has had some struggles this summer with it, since he is SO fluffy....he was sitting in the corner of the coop instead of on the roost last night.....and dead when I went out this mornng.

So sad

Oh no Janelle what happened? I am so so sorry.

Amy, I think she would notice if I jabbed her in the asssss with a 18g needle don't you think? Trust me it would be easy cause that is a big assss you could line Cyn, you, Janelle, Kathy and Beth up with me standing center and it would not compare to this backside.


Okay I have just done everything possible I can think of to keep my birds safe today in 98 degrees with 100% humidity. There are currently double window fans exhausting hot air, 4 20" box fans going on high....1 on Lancelot, 1 on Orion, 1 on Hector and babies and 1 on the d'uccles and silkies. Both barn doors on the coop are open and DH tacked up a shade cloth awning over the opening, every cage and pen has 2 gallons of ice water, frozen jugs in there and it is slightly cooler in there than it is outside. Now we pray. If I let them out is suicide they will not be able to take it. Junebug, Addie, Napoleon and Zoom are in the insulated garage with my remaining mottled girl and Max, the door is down, the laundry room door is open so they are getting residual AC from the basement and they have a box fan going as well. The Diva has 150 gallons of fresh water with 2 frozen gallons jugs floating in there, shade and her own box fan. Ducks have a fresh pool with 4 frozen soda bottles floating in it and 4 gallons of ice water un various locations around the yard. Oh and everyone has a frozen treat to enjoy....what else? Am I forgetting something?

You cannot do anymore than you're doing, not unless you bring them ALL inside to live with you and I seriously doubt that would work with MIL and other assorted houseguests in residence.

LH - luckily well at least here - the heat is brief this time - we get a cold front come thru saturday night and by monday back to 73 and no humidity - hang in there kiddo!

So sorry Nella - its almost worse when you dont know why they pass -

The fan in my barn is broke - for good this time- so i am a bit nervouse myself- luckily they can go out side and go under the shade trees - well or at least they better bethere right now !!!!!!!


As anyone on here had a duck or a goose with Angel wing? And perhaps they didnt catch it in time - can they live ok with the " special " wings?
