scott reed!
Isn't this heat bad? They say we are a good 10 degrees warmer than usual in this month.
I have sprayed my girls once in a while. They don't like it. :/
I wet the dirt they go to, they like that!
They lay in the moistened dirt. I have plenty of shade, and they are still panting, oh, and of course, I have water every where for them. Try and keep it in the shade. I think it's time to start putting a bowl in the fridge to get a big ice bowl, and put it in one of the water bowls out there. They like that..at least my older flocks have.
A first egg! You should have been in the guess who lays first contest. The first person that had a chicken lay an egg, wins a doz. chicks from someone on here. J/K!!! Just what we don't need, we are just seeing who has a hen lay first. I've decided this heat is delaying the one I thought would lay soon. It's sooo hot, and now, it looks like we have a fire either up Spanish Fork Canyon, or, on the other side of Maple Mountain. There is smoke coming up from one of them..a lot..and that is right close to us. I am with Brad, really dread the fireworks this year. Everyone, spray your roofs..we do, we have neighbors that put off those big ones now that they are legal. I always find bottle rockets in our yard after the 4th.
Sundance, I'll take that blue little frizzle or sizzle, or what ever that cute little thing in in your second picture..the blue one, if I have the first pullet lay.
Hope you are doing ok with all that smoke! Brad too. It's pretty bad, we are getting it coming our way now..clear over the point to our valley. Plus, like I said, the other fire from the mountain by us. I feel for those firefighters!
