One of these days I'm going to get caught up here....just not today. Spent the day outside redoing my run netting. It went a lot better than I thought it was going to. Just tedium. Plus I couldn't let the birds out so it was three hours of listening to them pounding on the walls and each other trying to hurry me along so they could come out and supervise my work. DH helped, bless him, so it went faster. Got done by 1. Did clean up for another what seemed like 12 hours. Whey is it when you have a pile of shredded old netting, you always have one brain dead rooster that just can't figure out that if he walks in it he's going to get his feet tangled up then you have to catch him and free him of his tethers? It's funny in a sad sort of way...oh heck, I gotta admit that it's just flipping funny to see a three pound bantam cross rooster shuffling around, dragging netting behind him, pause to lift a foot, study it for a moment before he shuffles off with his ten foot train of netting following him.

At least the standard sized birds, about half of which have bumble foot right now. Can't figure that one out. they spend most of the day snoozing on their roosting poles, have enough brain power to keep away from the netting on the ground while I'm working. They are no fun at all.

Thought y'all would like to see the picture my husband took last night of that big storm that rolled through Iowa and then dipped south. It went to the east of us and hit Knox county which is north east of Macon county where we live. DH said that he wondered if we could see it from the high point in our pasture so off we went. This is what we saw:

We stood and watched it for about 20 minutes. It's just amazing how something so beautiful can be so deadly.

Keeping the people of Marshalltown Iowa in my prayers along with all others dealing with severe and blistering hot weather.

The birds have to be exposed to staff bacteria and then get a cut on the foot. Try working on both of those things. The roost is a 2x4 flat? Round branches are cute but not the best for heavy large fowl

That is a wild looking storm!
