Re: [CHICKENS-101] Storms

Ya'll sure you didn't have a small tornado or micro burst?
I miss green, grass, lakes and growing stuff everywhere! Deserts brown and harsh most of the time. But I don't miss the nasty storms.

Subject: RE: [CHICKENS-101] Storms

OMG, I can't believe that storm last night. It seemed to have
come from nowhere and I was expecting to see a witch bicycling by the
window! Our deck furniture went flying, we lost power until 5am and the
roof on two of the coops flew off! Sadly, one of the coops had my Splashie
in it and she was dead this morning. I think the roof may have crushed her
before being lifted..not sure, but she is gone.

Everyone else seems no worse for wear and we repaired the
rooftops, today. Also put electrolytes in everyone's water and made sure
fans were running and shade was available to all.

I have some Silkies chicks that are almost four months old. I
am selling some but keeping some and want to integrate them in with Chi chi
(Splashie's BFF) and the two boys, Barty and Ichibod. So, my thought is to
gradually add hens to the coop, one at a time in the evening when it is dark
and sleepy time. I plan to keep a black hen, blue hen, buff hen. The
little cockerels are going to be kept separate and I don't want to add them
to this mix- I think Barty and Icky will hurt them. Any thoughts?

PS- Cathryn, Splashie and Chi chi were two that you sent me awhile back.
