I think we all need to start thinking cooler weather. This 99 into 100 temps for this long is ENOUGH. I am not even locking up the coop so chickens can keep cooler at night. I feel like I am back in South FL after a hurricane. Only thing this has been a month of this already.
You know last summer I left my roosting house open every night to keep them cooler, but since reading all the horror stories on here about predators, I've been shutting them up around 11:00. I apologize (as if they can understand me).
yep, my chickens are coooooking. I think i can just leave eggs outside and they will incubate on their own.
However, I am trying to downsize. I have 3 BROODY BROODY girls available, Leghorn/Giant crosses, just under a year old. 2 RIR hens approximately 1 year old, 1 splash andalusian pullet, 2 red sex link pullets, 1 cochin/RIR pullet. All these pullets are near laying.
anyone interested in anything? In West Knoxville area.....going to Madisonville sale saturday 8/7 and hopefully 8/21, but not bringing these girls unless someone wants to meet there. Will be going up to Lexington KY on the 75 on 8/14 and can meet, and on the 40 east to Inman, SC on 8/21 if someone wants to meet.
Lots of other stuff available too.........mostly bantams, cochins and d'uccles, lots of colors, pairs or roosters available.
Anyone else going to the Madisonville sale this weekend?
