I moved the oldest chicks to the new pen last night, they were on the other side of the pink door. I left the door open so the chicks in this pen could be herded over this morning. Then I cleaned out this pen and got it ready for another group to come from the small hoop house. I put down a little clean sandy gravel for grit and dust bathing along with a couple of buckets of compost full of earthworms.
It was almighty st 100° at 10am so I went to turn on the cooler and work in the house. Well the old water line had sprung a new leak. I had some new line to replace it but had to drive 12 miles to get these little parts to install it because I couldn't get the old one off the old line to reuse. Cooler up and running I spent some time working on cleaning up and reorganizing. Just a drop in the bucket but progress anyway.
I went out every little while and moved the water hoses. I thought it was supposed to be about 106° today but it was 110°. At that temp it's really like you stuck you head in the oven.
