Oh, my gosh. You people are NUTTY McNuggets. It's like a parallel universe over here sometimes!!

Chicken rescue update forthcoming. Pins and needles.

We're just a few miles from the Carr Fire here in Redding, California.

Have you ever had to evacuate with chickens before? I started a preparation discussion months ago, but dumb me. I'm good at talking things up, not so good at actual preparation.

I have things I need to go and do. Please post any ideas or your own experiences here. Spot fires from embers are starting to ignite. If we have to evacuate, we're unsure of how that works, where we'll need to go, how to manage this with almost no spare funds.

I'll call the local Red Cross and sheriff's office, the animal shelter and see if my calls will be answered. Now is not the time to be figuring this out.

My mom is a volunteer at a place where they take livestock that needed to be evacuated and/ or were hurt in fires I don't know if they are doing it right now though, I'll try to get a hold of her.

That's great news Gary!

Sunshine, @speckledhen had a fire at her house, they lived in a trailer while the whole place was renovated. Maybe insurance covered it? I'm sure she will check in with more.

And Henry may have been out foraging with some of his girls.

Prepare yourselves for the most amazing Henry Conquers the World and Lives Yet Again news ever, folks.

He survived a horrendous coyote attack and kidnapping into the deep woods on BLM land.

And now he has survived a massive 110,000 acre firestorm that the awesomely fantastic firefighters worked tirelessly to keep on the other side of Placer Road, a barrage of fleeing wild animals looking for food, extreme heat and monstrous smoke and ash.

If you don't believe me, well, here he is. Look closely and you'll see a little Henry poking out from one of the hens!

That's awesome! Will you be able to pick him up? Or will he go to a shelter?
