What did you do with your flock today?

Aloha gang,
Well we have had some heavy rains move through us the last week and especially yesterday. I think Waialeale was clocked at 30" in a 24 hour period. How's that for one of the wettest spots on earth? We were more in the 5-7" where I am at and well that was enough to drive anybody indoors to binge watch The Crown... so we did and snacked on pretzels and choco raisins :p.
Now the mess I have to clean, the coops and cages to be mucked, mulch needing to be replenish and nesting material needing a check and freshen! Don't feel too bad for me lol. We have a sandy loam and we drained pretty fast comparatively, plus now I wont have to water anything for at least a week or two or three or four! More rain may be coming lol.
Oh! and this mornings nest box line up is hysterical. Like a bathroom line up at a plumbfest.

I'm also worried about the diseases the rain may be growing and now treating my suddenly slow chick for coccidiosis already and loaning out my Tylan to a friend. The other downside.
Wow, that’s a lot of rain! Your pictures are really pretty, especially the first two.

Thank you, Kauai is mostly, always beautiful- we were just having a moment. 1st photo is looking into my garden, coop and run. The second is looking down to the closed Hanalei Bridge and flooded taro fields. I think Hanalei could arguably be one of the worlds most beautiful spots even when flooded. Unfortunately not a lot of people can access it right now due to that big ol' landslide 😬
And it's still raining... lol. But not as much. We did see the sun for a few glorious hours this morning. I did not pick up any mulch but I did do all the rest of that stuff on my list and bonus, I spent some outside time with my wounded hen looking for bugs and just enjoying her sweetness.
I collected 8 eggs out of 9 active layers. Those girls are rock stars.

I don’t mind old threads, but I haven’t clicked on one ‘similar thread’ yet that wasn’t years old & totally inactive. I guess it was a good idea that didn’t pan out the way they had envisioned it.

I always love your pics, even the scary ones.
