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

I have the right to own chickens already with some qualifiers but I still feel lucky and can't wait to share some eggs with the neighbors who have experienced the young rooster learning to crow and practicing all day long. :)
