Rain

It rained last night lo and behold. The heat and intense humidity is a killer though! But I am proud it rained for our little town. I ordered baby chicks just a week or so ago and they are having trouble with the heat too. Now I know why for sure you order them in the early spring down here in the south! Poor little chickies! We have a dog, Hercules, and the name describes him perfectly, but anyway he wallered on one of the baby chicks that got loose the other day, and the little feller is doing fine today. White Rocks are a very hardy breed of chicks and I recommend them for anyone who wants to start a backyard chicken pen. They are fast growers and can stand the heat and keep right on growing, and even a mauling from a BIG doggy.
