Which BYC member scares you?

[Isadora]

I wish mine did! These destructive squirrels are a real pain. I'd love to see chickens give them heck.

I always get a sense of satisfaction when I see the chickens raid a mouse nest.

I don’t know about everyone else, but the heat and humidity has already started. At least I was in the shade all afternoon.

Easy 95 here today. Always humid AF.

It was a pretty nice day here. Humidity was only around 44% and I think 77° was the high.

We had miserable 90s+ most of last week

101F. not a lot of humidity, typical mid May day for us.

I wouldn’t want to live it, but I’d like to experience desert temps with lower humidity and below zero cold. I hear that our humidity makes heat and cold much worse without the extreme +100 or -0 temps. I personally don’t buy it. For all I know, some redneck from Alabama May be making all that up to feel tough. Anyone got any real life comparisons they have experienced?

When the new coop was built last year, the chickens weren't even in it for an hour before they found a mouse and got mouse blood on the nice new perch. It looked like they smacked the thing against it pretty hard. So much for keeping it looking nice and new for at least a day....

My big chickens chase squirrels but the BCs will be right beside the squirrels eating scratch.

Oh yeah, shes a bantam cochin, by the way. Tiny but mighty!

When i would chase off a fox or something, she would come running behind me screaming, like she was apart of it.

Anecdotal only, but I can tell you I'll take 120F and 12% RH over 90 and 90 all day. Spent a week in Houston in July, and it was like walking around with a warm wet blanket when you were outside. Everything was always damp, breathing was the suck, and I didn't even get to play in the ocean. I Can also say that 75 on the coast with the humidity feels chilly, where 75 on the desert is pretty much perfect.

Oddly, 85 on Hawaii with the trades blowing seemed lovely, if damp. So there's probably a psychological component involved too.

Make of that what you will.

I know right! We have a fat gus here, thats pregnant. She always just stares at me from corners, watching, doing a little prairie dog pose. Then eats all the seed.
