I will say it again. I have standing water, not "low" spots. AND I'm on a hill. Never seen water NOT run down a hill.

He's a handsome fellow.

We are under a flood warning at the moment.

Thank you. And good luck! I hope the flooding doesn't come to pass.
We haven't even got our place cleaned up from the ice.

feathered feet concern me. We have way too much mud for that to not be an issue.

Pretty bird. Brahma or another breed?

I didn't raise any feather feet birds for the longest, but I fell in love with langshans and brahmas. I generally don't have a problem with the feet, but we've had more standing water than usual.
He is a mixed breed. His father was a blue orpington & ameraucana mix, mother is a hatchery dark brahma. He is pretty impressive in size, and just an all around good rooster. I'm very fond of him, feathered feet and all.

The hen next to him is an average size naked neck.

I need to get more Naked Necks. I enjoyed the couple that I had. Whole lot calmer than the wild birds I've got now.

Its raining here as well, and we don't need more took the 4 days with out rain for the water to go down in the back yard.

We have gotten small, quick showers but nothing serious, the ice storm everyone else got, we got rain but that soaked right in.
I need to mow my yard, grass is a good 6 to 8" high.

I love the ones I got from Ideal in Cameron. They have the real deal naked necks. The girl above was from a tractor supply bin. I'd love to mix naked necks with every breed.
I did get a son from her and my big boy. He was just rehomed at 8 months, but I think he will be as big as his father when grown.

You can't tell where it's getting in?

Ours is bubbling up from the ground like Jed's black gold. Of course we have so many underground springs.
I've never had so much water in my run! One corner has about 3" standing! I used the pine pellets and straw bales that I had put aside for spring cleaning. Our coop is raised by 8" so it didn't flood, but I let the flock out to free range. I put their feeders and water out in the sun for them. I've got fans running, but I don't think that will help the standing water much. I guess I'll be baling it out. We have more rain predicted Monday & Tuesday.
