When did this last string of rain start? I don’t remember…I think it has been the long side of a week. There are a few breaks here and there, but for the most part, big, fat, juicy drops have been falling constantly from the sky. Everything is soaked!
We’re starting to float!!
The new hatchlings are toasty warm thanks to Mama Hen, Chardonnay, and a handy dandy heat lamp. The Littles, who are not so little anymore…
Not so Little anymore!
…are getting drenched. Although everyone enthusiastically shares the chicken house at night…there is still some intimidation going on by the “Elders” towards the Littles during the day. This teenage flock are gaining in confidence, but are not quite there yet. During the day, if the Elders are in the house, the Littles stay out. They haven’t yet learned of the different areas around the farm to find shelter besides one,…
Trying to keep dry from the sideways rain doesn’t work to well when there’s only one wall.
…and if rain is going sideways, it doesn’t keep them as dry as I would like. In a huge desire to freshen up the chicken yard, unfortunately, I dismantled their outdoor cabana a little too early.
Wish I hadn’t taken down the cabana yet….well, at least the Lowes boxes are still one…hahaha!
The Elders are much more refined in their rain behavior. They find good cover, and stay pretty dry…..
They’re a bit wet from all the rain.
…so compare these two Littles, Pontiac (closest to front) & my man Austin, to Benedict and Claudio above….
These two little roosters do not quite know how to manage all of this rain.
….who do you think are more rain-challenged?? Everyone gets a good supply of cracked corn in the early evening to hopefully help them have a warmer night. Here’s a quick little video…it’s really quick….hope you like it.
And the Muppets continue to grow.
Kermit takes a ride!
