1st day of Fall

We are still here...I havn't posted any new pics because our lap top is currently out of commision and I guess I am spoiled and don't want to sit here at this desk top! The Flock has made it through thier 1st summer and now we are headed into shorter days...I am told that egg production may decrease a little bit, but we will have to wait and see. The State Fair is starting this coming weekend and the girls are excited to go see the animals including the other chickens...maybe I can get some pics to help identify our birds. We will keep you posted. Oh yeah, I just got back from New Mexico, but I failed to get a pic of a chicken for exhibit here...did some pics of a few cows.

GUSTAV!

What is left of hurricane Gustav blew into town overnight and left a litter of leaves all over my yard...and it has rained almost all day....curious to see what kind of rain fall total we end up with they were forecasting 7". I wondered if the rain would stress the chickens like the heat did to the point where they would not be able to produce eggs...but they were fine...in fact today we hit our average of 7 eggs and the hurricane really kept the heat down today, I think we were in the low 70's. I may have to figure out how to hook up a live web cam so ya'll can watch the chickens 24/7!
