Today I found the broody hen had not seen her for a few days; she is alive and well. I put some water out for her near her nest and will take out some special treats in a bit. So glad she is okay. She is in some underbrush in a well hidden spot. So all the chickens have survived this last heat wave we had. Yea!
The heat and broody hens have taken away from egg production but the young hens are healthy and I'm so happy about that! Glad we took in to consideration how hot it gets here when we were thinking about the kind of chicks to raise last spring.
This morning we've picked some cherry plums for them to eat from the purple leaf plum tree one of their favorite treats.
