    If you have a psychological disorder, you are not alone. Apart from my son and my grandfather, the human losses that I have faced don't hit me particularly hard, recently, my dad died just before Thanksgiving last year, but he did it to himself and was mean, my Grandmother, who was just cruel...

    For us, we are often guided by sentimentality which doesn't always lead to doing the right thing. I know that your experience and decision making is always focused on doing what is right for those chickens, so while not an easy decision, it is the right one for the right reasons. Forcing her...

    Is it possible that the differences in Fret's behaviour is that she is still mourning/pining for Henry or the lack of a male presence? Not necessarily in a psychological way, the way we humans mourn, but in a biological way. Or could the failure of the broody switch to flip, be the chicken...

    From a broodies point of view, all eggs are HER eggs and the more the merrier!

    When the storm blew through here, it dropped 20 degrees...I will enjoy it while it lasts, but we will pay for it tomorrow. The mid to upper 90's do not usually last too long here.

    Ours are all doing great, so far. Today is the worst here, for this spell:

    We have a few the 5-gallon cup waterers too, we keep these in the shady spots, (what a game changer!), several regular waterers and several open waterers scattered around so they don't ever have to go far for a drink, plus the turkeys have access to the shallow areas of the pond. They are far...

    Our boys pitch in to help or supervise everything we do. I would be miserably unhappy without them.

    We give ours electrolytes in their water when it is hot, refresh the water multiple times a day and wet the ground so that it is cooling as it evaporates.

    You sound like a man about to or at least closer to introducing a new cockerel or rooster to the field. ;-) I love hearing my boys, and I always get a serenade. I know each individual's unique "voice" and I can tell when it is just a hello, or if something needs attention.

    As long as the harvesting process is humane. I can't imagine suffocation or freezing to death is very pleasant. :-(

    It can be dangerous breeding milking cows with beef cows, the calves are often bigger and more difficult to deliver. :-(

    It is approximately 4,046.86 meters, so if you are trying to sell the land, it is 4,047 and if you are buying, 4.046. :p

    I think their comfort comes from 3 things, 1. Summer here can be hot and humid, just plain miserable. The high grass is up to my knees in most places, so well over their heads, so it offers shade, but air flow. 2. This is their land, where they grew up (the majority were hatched here. :-) )...
