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

This would be so neat to win, we have RIRs, Japanese Black-tailed Buffs & mixed birds who lay different singer eggs. It's always an adventure to see what is in the coop each day! Keep up the work & BLAZE STAYZE!
