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

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.

It's been overly wet here in Kentucky. Normally I don't have to worry about straw in my run except during colder months. Temperatures have been very nice for the chickens though. mid 80's in July in Kentucky is strange. Love your blog and your facebook page!!
