goodbye to good friends


my fluffy cheeked rosie chicken, the little green egg layer and.....


my lovable little mildred chicken(closest to the door) the newest welsummer......


killed by this man!


despite extra water and shelter the chickens just could not take it. chickens body temperatures run in the low one hundred's, so you can imagine what the heat wave does to them. i have now hooked up a fan blowing into the coop, so i can only hope that it won't scare them and they will go inside. silly birds.

So sorry about the chicks. I can remember my grandmother having chickens and them being dead in the coop in the summer. Ir's been a crazy year for weather!
