Hot! Hot! Hot!


Seems this year we went from winter to summer in 60 seconds. I don't think we had a Spring. My chickens are dusting themselves off by rolling in the dirt and hanging their mouths open. I guess they don't sweat like we do. They have drank an inordinate amount of water daily. I can hardly keep the water pail filled.

My eggs didn't hatch so I guess Red wasn't as fertile as I thought. I have too many hens for him to "do" everybody I guess.

He got sick so I took him to the vet. What a shock when I got the bill! I guess vets think chickens are like the family dog. I told them that was the most expensive chicken and dumplings I ever had. Just to forewarn you- vets are not free.
