Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

So...fyi...I think my girls hate me. Spent HOURS yesterday putting down poop pans under their roost. And I gave them an automatic waterer. Well I ran out of pans, but figured, hey, its only like 6 inches, they dont ever roost in that corner anyway.

Guess where they roosted last night!?!?! Argh!

Oh my, too funny!
 
80*... too hot... if it's 80 in the winter, how hot is it in summer...? I know, some areas stays fairly consistent year round... I don't do well in the heat. I get the wobblies. the frigid cold didn't feel that bad to me. I had a sweatshirt over a turtleneck over a long john shirt. I didn't need a coat for the amount of time I was exposed. I did have a coat with me... in case I broke down or something... everyone was so bundled up... I had to laugh... I must have some thick blood.
I'm up late... 5:30 will come way too fast... I haven't written a poem in forever. blockage...

We average 100+ days from April till Sept over 100 degrees. I can't stand the cold. Anything below 60 and I'm freezing my.girlys off. But I'm in Texas, its how we roll.

I give my chooks a heatlamp the little bit we get down around the.freezing mark.
 
I've got quite a few videos of my gang and their first treats... first ever was meal worms. but the yogurt and fruit bombs were great, they sprayed yogurt everywhere... i remember back from those days... OK said he wouldn't do it again, not even with a raincoat... of course, he thought they were going to share politely... Roger was just a wee youngin' and was just starting to pull her antics...
 
.......Sorry I forgot. I will get your rib cage back to you. It's still laying on my four wheeler. Do you want it next to the shoulder blade or the femur? I'm getting a little tired of tripping over back bone parts. And I'm sure I would become part of the collection if i fell and broke my neck. Seriously guys we need to hang some of your trophy's on the wall or something. Finish the work on the deer carcass first. Maybe I will get you all a coon for your birthday but I'm not going to promise. I know the coons come around at night. But they can't get you. Yes Roger i will hang the coons head on the front door of your run when you all have completed the masterpiece. You guys are barbaric

Around here we call that "No good deed goes unpunished." They were probably just scared. When I put sand on the coop floor, it took days before they would walk on it. Looked like a bunch of trapeze artists, using whatever they could to avoid the sand. What a bunch of chickens!!

A hundred+ days over 100*?!!

That's me passing out just thinking about it. I'd be better joining Cheeka in the cold, although I would be bundled up past recognition. You must have some really heat hearty chickens! So many people inland of me, where they have serious heat like yours, lost birds last summer. A lot of them are trying out new Mediterranean breeds (Penedesenca is the only one I can recall right now) to see if they are more heat tolerant.


My girls got a cheeseburger today. They loved it!!!
I heard Roger say that she will gladly pay you Thursday for a hamburger today. (That's probably only amusing if you are really old like me

or if you've ever watched Wimpy on the old Popeye cartoons try to beg a burger.)

Hey, with all those bones lying around, you have the perfect materials to create a skeleton jungle gym for the girls! It would last forever and give them something to play on. Sure you could incorporate the raccoon head somewhere to appease Roger. As for them being barbaric, they can't use knives and forks so must resort to the necessity of employing the 'meatsicle' method of eating. They can join my boys in the Barbarian Club.
