We took the chickens home yesterday because it was too hot. Hawk went to his new home today . Almond will go to his new home tomorrow. Then we will have 20 chickens. We still have five Cochin bantam roosters that need to go.

The chickens are surviving the heat. I dunk them in a bucket of water when it gets too hot.

Good job at the fair!

I'm so sorry......

Hopefully the other 5 will find loving homes!

Ha ha, I basically take a watering can full of cold water (or, preferably, a hose) and sprinkle everybody when it's really hot. I should try the bucket method! Whatever it takes to keep everybody comfortable.

Dot is finally done being broody.

Here are some pics of the Cochins

I still cannot think of a name for the barred pullet. I don't really like mulberry and I want it to be a plant name

I finally got a video uploaded on YouTube of marshmallow and her chicks. It took 20min for it to upload. Took me a whole year to make it.

Night (I'm changing her name to Sweetie) has greenish yellow orangish eyes. Which is weird because both her parents had orange eyes. Hawk had green eyes too.

I think Pebbles likes to have her picture taken, she always looks straight at the camera. :lol

I found a home for the roosters, one of my friends from Iowa is taking them and finding home for all except one that they will keep. All the roosters have started picking on each other, it would be best if they all went to different homes.

Someone called today about Blackberry (he's a black Cochin cockerel that we are selling) they want a friendly rooster and Blackberry is the friendliest, he's too friendly. He either thinks He is a person or I am his lady chicken.

The person will come Sunday to pick him up.
All the roosters pick on each other now, I have to keep them separated and I don't have enough pens. We will take what's left of the roosters to Iowa August 11 I think
