We ended up with 5" and Poplar Bluff had some pretty deep flooding in low spots and one person tried to drive through 3' of water... JT

And we just passed the 4" mark on the rain gauge. JT

And so far we have over 3" of rain since last night. Not very dusty on the road today... JT

Is the humidity low enough where you live for a swamp cooler to work? A swamp cooler would not work here very well. The humidity needs to be below 50% for just a 10°F drop in temperature with a swamp cooler. https://piec.com/5-ways-humidity-affects-evaporative-swamp-cooling/ JT

I have a fan blowing into the little coop and it seems to help my 3 hens, I checked last night and none had their wings spread out like it was too hot. JT

Poplar Bluff is in there somewhere... I got the run door and feeder open just before the rain started.

Mine went through some frozen sweet corn in ice cube trays like butter. JT

That is one amazing chick! JT

I have a doe that tolerates me walking back and forth between the machine shop and she has taken up residency under the carport behind some stuff so I think she has chosen that as the spot for her fawn when it arrives. Let's see shelter, protection, food and water and an ole fart that feeds me...

My last Rhode Island Red hen will be 7 years old on 8/16/24 and continues to lay eggs and looks really healthy. I'm just amazed by her. The other two Cinnamon Queen hens are laying regularly and yesterday I got 3 eggs. Kinda strange to only have 3 hens in the yard but they have plenty of room...

Brood 19 is finally getting quite around here. Must have been billions of them... https://mdc.mo.gov/trees-plants/diseases-pests/periodical-cicadas JT

We got 4 1/2" of rain from that storm yesterday and last night. JT

No, when these are gone I'm done with chickens. Don't get me wrong, I like having chickens but my assistant Chicken Tender is having a hard time getting around and without him taking care of the chickens we can't travel. JT

And I'm down to Tu Tu the Red Island Red and Lucy and Blondie the two Cinnamon Queens. JT

37th anniversary today... time flies when you're having fun. Beard is a bit shorter and hair longer and I seldom wear the red Carhartt T shirt lol. JT
