With the extreme heat and the high humidity, everyone has been feeling it. The littlest poults did not do well, we lost five of nine. The four left are hardy and healthy though.
The pigs have been wallowing in the mud and the cows have been spending a lot of time in their shelter close to the water trough.
There were even a few moments where the birds were able to relax, soak up some rays and have a dirt bath. The first time we saw chickens sunning themselves we thought they were in distress but it turns out they like tanning as much as we do.
Even Maya was grilling her belly.
When the rain finally comes it is a relief. Everyone spends as much time out as possible. The turkey perch on the top of the old fence to rest and enjoy the cooler temps.
And the good news is that the eggs Palmer was sitting, which I suspected she had abandoned, started hatching today.
