all good. They are still at the place I am staying. Same temperatures Lots of shade.

When I see heat stress is when it get up to 105. They usually get up on the perches in the run and in the shade and nap. wings a little drooped. Its when the hens get in the nest box I worry. I have a design for a water chilled nest set up. Still have to draw up the plans for it.

There’s probably no rush if your current neighbors aren’t complaining, right?

Be careful not to over do it. You know I worry like an old Italian grandmother.

We bought live mealworms today for our next adventure... Growing them.

Those things are nasty! The woman who sold them to us handed me a carton of them with the lid off & said, “just stick your hand down in there & swirl it around.” I said, “Thank you, but I’m not there yet.”

The kids aren’t happy, but the birds will be.

I know, I know. I’ve felt that way for a long time, but my dried meal worm bill is killing me. I have hope that I’ll eventually man up & desensitize from the creep factor, but until then it’s DHs chore. (I’m just glad that he can’t travel right now.)

Gravy.

Don't keep them in styrofoam; they'll chew their way out. Trust me.

If any of y'all happen to run across a newbie in your travels calling himself "Gethenet" don't be too hard on him; he's my "baby boy"
