What did you do with your flock today?

Meet Victoria. Depending on the fullness of her crop she weighs in at 18lbs. I think she has stopped growing. She lays some big, big eggs. Some they don't even make cartons that big.

I looked at your picture and I swear I heard Victoria say "Holy deep litter Bat Man!"

That sounds just awful…and a non-working AC?!? It would be so lovely to live closer to you…if not for your weather

Hubby signed us up for some plan called the polar bear club...so glad because it guarantees they come out the same day you call them. They made it out about 6ish and set us right up. Turned out it was something small and quick to fix.
Ya... I'll always want greener pastures but I'm actually adjusting to the heat finally. About time right?

I know that new threads get lost in this forum because things move so fast, so here's a link to a thread I started about a noxious weed I found today that's a potential danger to chickens. Tansy ragwort, bad stuff.

Big girl !!! Have you thought about using duck egg cartons? They fit super jumbo eggs that a couple of my girls lay, and won't fit in a regular carton.

I opened up the pop door to the summer run so the hens can get some shade.
2 orpingtons left the nest box singing the egg song. That spooked the other hens (for some reason) and there was a lot of caterwauling going on. Had the young ducks running around quacking not knowing what was going on. I had to go through multiple spider webs to check the area out to be sure it wasn't a predator.
Chickens are crazy. That's all.

Clara caused a commotion first thing by deciding she didn't like the noise of the waterer being emptied! She's only heard it a billion times before...

It’s so true!! They are! They just know it’s pool time. That’s all! Meanwhile this is me -

That gif could be me! I've been complaining I'm too hot in our 27°C!
