Winds where not as bad as I thought it should be. Tree tops where moving more higher up but wasn't getting that at ground level.
I got a warm shower and dry clothes asap when I got in.
OMG it came a torrential downpour!
It started as a slight sprinkle with terrible lighting and thunder. I went out to get the chickens in and it opened up on us!
Most went inside the two coops, but the dummies that like to sleep in the trees where just standing around or trying to get under...
Oh believe me it was for the cat food. They frequent my backdoor and pourch and eat with the cats. They normally leave any of the chickens beyond the small fenced in yard alone unless they present a easy meal like when they pile up against the wire of their pen. I'm still working on taking out...

The roosters start crowing and I think I hear the hens making a ruckus so I go out to check. Low and behold...
Another 3 roosters gone as pets this time.

Most of my crosses are EEs. Consisting of Ameraucana, Phoenix, Spitzhauben and Orpington. She took a blue one that was getting in a long tail. He's going to be beautiful.
I raised meat birds like 30 years ago for 4H. I didn't actually get to process them we took them somewhere for that but I did get to watch.
What I'll be processing here will be birds for pressure cooking or making homemade cat food. They will be 6 to 9 month old culls from breeding projects for...
I gave away 7 cockerels and will be giving more away tomorrow morning. My feed bill will be happy and I get to put off learning how to dispatch and dress a bird for a while longer.
They aren't. But we had a storm come in and that can set things off with the pressure difference. It's abating now but still have pain in my ears and behind my left eye.
