Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Morning ponders
hope you all are surviving this miserable weather. Ridiculously hot and now sticky here in the northwoods. Enough with record breaking already. Give us our nice cool northwoods back please. Poor chooks! Had to add a second fan in the coop last night to get them to stop panting. I have no idea how those poor backyard flocks in the city are surviving this year surrounded by all that heat holding concrete.

We had a wave of it in NorCal right before we left - and of course, we are now traveling into it!
The one good thing that happens with the first heat wave for us - all the mosquitoes die and then there are no more of those biting pests for the rest of the summer!

I hired that pool boy to fan me throughout this week---he's nice to look at too! Any ponders want to borrow him, let me know

Heat here is generally accompanied by afternoon thunder storms and exploding mosquito populations.

Is anyone any good at identifying game chicks? I have four that came in a box of welsummer chicks I got at the auction about 3 weeks ago (so around 4 weeks old) they all look the same to me except the one I believe to be a roo. and yes, I was aware there were obvious not welsummer chicks when I bought them, they were only a dollar each though so I figured what the heck

Clearly I don't know much.

And your foot?

I saw you said you can now wedge it into a boot...

But shouldn't it be looking way better?

How is the color?
