Quoting Mark Twain, “If you don’t like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.” Temperatures this week ranged from triple digit highs to lows in the 50s, nutty even by New England standards.
My flock ordinarily free-ranges, but with temperatures in triple digits, I kept them confined to the run for because it’s cooler than walking around in the sun. The run has everything they need: The Chicken Fountain serving up cold, fresh water, the mister providing 15-20°F lower temps, Grandpa’s Feeder for convenient access to food and plenty of cool, sand for dust-bathing.
Blaze’s recovery continues as twice daily I pack his wattle and earlobe with antibiotic-soaked gauze. Barbie was supervising this particular day. ☺
Brutus & Portia (Seramas) have discovered one another, Portia having hatched a few months later than Brutus.

Would love to win the watering fountain, I spend a lot of time taking fresh water to the coop.
The Chicken Fountain has been high on my wish list ever since I first heard of it. It would be fabulous to win one!
I have always wanted something like this for my chickens. Love your blog and giveaways. Thank you :)
This is my ultimate go-to place for caring and sharing. Where else but here would I turn for hands-on, comprehensive and first class advice? If the Chicken Fountain works for The Chicken Chick, then it'll work for me! Not only will it save my feet and back, but it will provide my girls with fresh water on tap. What could possibly beat that? Loving this blog via email, RSS, Google, FB and Feedly. heather x
