Then you'd love the 39°C we'll get on Monday

I don't think so. I just can't cope with the heat anymore.

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Temperature is in the 80s sunny.

Have a great day!

LOL this is the first day in weeks that it hasn't been over 30C here, 27C, reeeeally humid, think sauna. That is why we are obsessive about fans and cooling for our fluffy butt masters as well as nutridrench. Just been down working on chicken things, I am . I am trying to cool down a little before taking a shower and making dinner.

I need to take my phone or camera with me at all times, I missed the best moment.. Little Tater went flapping up to Spud and pecked him gently on the beak, Spud picked up some treat he found and gave it to him, making the usual "I found a treat call, then all the babies came running and surrounded him, gently pecking his feet, fluttering around him like wild things, what does Spud do?? Cocks and lowers his head and starts making cooing and soft clucking sounds at them. He is a beautiful boy and awesome dad!

Father and daughter tree hugging. They are very much alike, these two. More than just looks

Heat, the older I get, the less I like it.

Rain most of the day, drying out late afternoon. Around 16C.
I spent most of the three and a half hours chicken watching.
Carbon is ill. She laid an egg in the nest, the remnants of which I found when I checked the nest box. It didn't look like lash egg remnants. There was some shell and a proper membrane left and lots of sticky yolk on the other eggs in the nest.

She was sick enough not to want any treats and was reluctant to leave the coop run. She did come out and here she is with Henry but not doing much in the way of foraging.

This was a surprise. She's never shown any signs of wanting to be my friend before, unlike the chick in the third picture.

Waiting for the rain to stop.

Out and about. I think Mow is going broody.

Sad to read Carbon isn't feeling well at all. Hope she recovers from her illness
