Keeping cool was the name of the game this week. Wild weather included 80% humidity, 90°+F temperatures, torrential rains and two, confirmed tornadoes in the area. Thankfully, we are no worse for the wear and the grass and flowers

Ally McBeak & Calista Flockheart (both Tolbunt Polish Frizzles) keeping hydrated with The Chicken Fountain
Olive Egger hen (left, front) and Black Copper Marans hen (right, front). Tricks for helping chickens survive heat, here.
Marilyn Monroe, (White Orpington) wading to keep cool.
All in one basket.
Portia (Serama pullet)
Windy (3 year old Blue Splash Marans) with crooked toes.
The rain wasn’t kind to everyone’s feathers. Calista Flockheart (Tolbunt Polish Frizzle)
These eggs will be blown out and sold for decorating. The eggs’ contents are a great source of protein & will be fed back to my peeps.

I can't imagine 80% humidity. it's been in the 90s here (S.CA) but not humid like that. We finally can legally have chickens in our city (no roosters).

I love the egg-scale. The kids and I would have a lot of fun with it.

Love the egg scale. It's so interesting the differences seen in egg sizes day to day!

I think we need to fix Ally McBeak and Calista Flockheart's hair/feathers into a ponytail with a scrunchie to keep it out and off their faces in this heat. What do you think, hahaha. Thank you for the contest.
