Re: [CHICKENS-101] no water

Laurie, We have no idea. The city is working on the road and decided to fix the leaking water main. I am so glad I filled jugs and decided to wait until morning to use the water jugs because I am using them in the house. 
Hope the work crew doesn't decide they are tired and go home before it is fixed. 
 I washed up the best I could by spraying myself with Cowboy Magic Greenspot remover and drying off, it's for people too. Can't wash my natural curly hair with it though, my hair takes lots of water to wash and rinse the conditioner out. May have to head for my parents in the morning.

How terrible -- when will the water be turned back on?

 The city turned the water off to the neighborhood with no advance notice. :(   No shower/bath unless I haul water from the barn well and heat it on the stove. Sigh... I should have showered as soon as I was done with feeding and watering and the garden. Instead I sat down to enjoy an iced coffee first and fell asleep for a good 3 hours. :(   
I am so glad I filled a couple of jugs for the outdoor pen water dishes and put them by the gates for in the morning.  I'll have to go out tonight and get a jug of water for the dog and chicks. 
 Might as well go do that now and see if I need to chase the deer off.  Left the farm pick up truck in the garden and dirty barn clothes hanging like a scare crow.  I walk out, get into the truck, wait for the   deer, start the truck and haul after them. So far they have not went near the garden plants and my clothes. I even change the clothing around off and on.
