That is pretty clever !Turkeys dumped their water. I think deliberately so they could dust bathe

They are so strange looking, but they seem to have real personalities from what i’ve seen people post.
It's one or two degrees cooler today and that meant it's actually quite pleasant.
I’m drowning in courgettes. Literally drowning. Usually some of our plants die at this period because it's cooler but with the heat it hasn't been the case. The freezer is full, none of my neighbours want them anymore, the chickens will eat one a day and I feel it's really just to help me, and it's too hot for canning. I’m still picking ten to fifteen everyday. I can't keep up. I think I am 50 courgettes behind. My partner is working everyday this week, so my last hope is that he’ll agree to take them to his colleagues.
Chickens had a pretty active morning but they really slowed down in the afternoon. Petit Blanc terrified Léa again by mating her unwillingly. She tries to run back to Gaston but in the panic she doesn't manage to get through the chicken netting and she gets stuck screaming. When I got to her she was utterly red and panting and I wasn't sure if she was shocked, hurt or angry. Funny how Piou-piou and Merle who are much smaller can frighten Petit Blanc, and Léa is afraid of him.
I called the clinic for Nieva today. The vet asked to send pics by mail which I will try to do this evening, and said maybe it was worth it to bring her again so she would do a debridement herself. Since my partner is working it wouldn't be before next week. I’ll see what she says when she gets the pictures. It's way not as bad as some of the bumblefoot you see on BYC or the internet, but it is very swollen and hot. I think it's now back to how it was when we took her to the vet.
In better news I saw Blanche produce a real poop in the first time for maybe three weeks. She has been passing only green liquid all this time.
Good morning Cocorico!
Pretty pied beau.
Another pot guy!
It's difficult to make him understand that he should not spend my lunchtime sitting on the top of my chair. He’s still not clear on the fact that we are not his specie.

Théo is having a hard time once again. Gaston is now driving him away from the chicken yard. He stays in front of our house, but most often there are no hens and he’s lonely.
