Another bad storm blew through last bring more high winds and heavy down pours.
More corn is down and this time we did have some animal losses.I have about 75 six week old chickens in yard #1 and last night when I put them up they were spread out really good. I guess the storm spooked them and they all huddled in the corner and the ones on the bottom were trampled. Counting the losses was around $80.
It really makes you sick when you open the door and see it. I don't know what I could have done any different. As soon as they get past this age they will start roosting on the perches and not the ground.
Other than that just more stuff was blown over and knocked down. Some of the house had a little siding damage but it is all fixable.
No storms tonight so we might finally get some sleep.
No work again today has landed me right back behind this computer working on my special secret project that will be releasing in a few weeks. It should be a hit.
Your projects are always a hit, Redneck! I'm sorry about your losses in the storm. We finally got some rain last night but nothing violent. There were three inches in the gauge by this morning ...what a Godsend!
ReplyDeleteDang, dead baby chicks. Well there is no other way to say it... That just sucks!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the secret project. We will be waiting for the announcement.
MY HEARTFELT PRAYERS FOR YOU MY FRIEND WE HAVE BEEN THERE... IF WE CAN HELP YOU IN ANY WAY LET US KNOW AND WELL BE THERE FOR YOU.... GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS....GLO IN OHIO
ReplyDeleteSorry about your loss. It's a shame. Like you've said before, three steps forward and then it's five back.
ReplyDeleteThank yall for the comments.
ReplyDeleteHossBoss, Three inches are great and I am glad is was an easy one for yall.
Genevieve, Yes it does.
glo, Just knowing someone is willing to help is good enough. Thank you.
Stephen, The good thing about backing up is that I have done it for so long now that I should be reaching the ahead point again soon.
Dead baby chicks are a bummer. I find if I make curves in the corners of my brooder out of cardboard they have a better chance of not getting smothered. Or better yet make the whole brooder area one big circle.
