I went out to feed and water the chicks. I think I like the white rocks best of all the pullets.
I will be able to move the young birds to the big pen in about a month. Sammy said we would build a temporary fence from the coop to the pen and have a chicken drive. We might have a lot of escapes if we are not careful.
All the neighborhood animals are coming by my yard and getting a drink of water from the buckets and tubs I keep filled with water. People amaze me . they don't seem to realize how important water is to their animals in this heat.

I like Sam's idea...
They are beautiful chickens, Patsy. My mom used to raise chickens when I was a child. I always remember that there was a large box in the fining room near the large circulating stove there for awhile until they got large enough to go out in the pen.
We water our dogs with fresh water daily. We let the water run until it is cool.. Larry washes all the water dishes fairly often so they don't have green scum in them. The dogs always seem to be so happy for the cool drink.
