Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[PopoMyers]

Missing 2 chicks. As I observed the flock yesterday, watched as the remaining 2 chicks come outside the fence several times. My 2 cats were lurking in the yard, so finally decided to lock mom and babies up in the coop run. DH put all the chickens in there last eve while I was out. I left them in there today, with all the rain. Power went out around 9:30 tonight. How are you faring @pennyJo1960 on the island?

Oh very good news about the credit union.

No rain here yet, but expecting it before the day is over. At least when it rains in the afternoon we can get the chickens closed in early. Not used to going out there after dinner to close them in. Hello DST.

James and I go out with the dogs 9:30 ish.
Birds go to the coop of their own.
I cover the feeders at night keep rodents out.

It started raining here a while ago, but almost no wind. I spread half a straw bale out in the RIR run, found an egg the RIR hen laid yesterday. The other four 18 week old RIRxNH pullets should start laying soon.

Really need to start planting some seeds. And put up a high roost bar for the young NHs. They like sleeping up high.

I think we are gonna lose one of our girls she not looking to good. I went out to feed them this morning and she was missing... I found her still in the coop on the roosting bar. so i reached in and grabbed her and was shocked to see how big her belly is!!!! and squishy!! pretty sure it's water belly. when I pushed on her belly yellowish poo and water came out her vent. should I just let her stay in the coop or should I separate her from the rest? I don't think she has eaten today or been drinking since she don't want to come out of the coop.

Hope you didn't loose a roof or tarp.

Mine tarps are super tight so wind doesn't damage them. Rarely an old zip tie snaps but that's a quick fix. This is year 4 on the roof tarps over the pens. Think I actually need to replace the top tarps this year. Sun damage is very slowly catching up. The tarp over the tiny broody pen is pretty done after 6 months. I need to change the roof system. A hog panel will just fit and allow me to make the tarp tight.
