Well no wonder they're hi-falutin if they live in a co-op*... most chickens live in a coop.

* co-op/ˈkōˌäp/noun
1. a cooperative society, business, or enterprise.

Lol, that danged autocorrect. I changed it ... TWICE! (But ya know, chickens are flock animals ... they cooperate and I don't keep them cuz they are cute, so they better be getting down to business if they don't want to be in the crock pot so ... )

I've posted about my wife wanting a chicken house and chickens and how I don't think that's going to happen ever.
It's concept.
My wifes idea of a chicken coop:

My memory of a chicken coop:

Its all perspective.

We got a whopping .004 of rain, it cooled off nicely and I did NOT have to go to work!!!

Yeah fake news is right. Just put down 3 bags of fertilizer on my back yard this morning. Gambled and lost. I'll be moving sprinklers around all day tomorrow.

Let it burn! Burn baby burn!

About mid morning here in SE Kingfisher County, we had a shift in the wind. It kicked up a haboob about half a mile north of us. We got dust.

PS: We have harvested 2 tomatoes, 3 summer squash smaller than hotdogs, and three normal chili peppers. It cost us hundreds of gallons of water so far. Fortunately, we had a good harvest of turnips early on. Maybe the potatoes will surprise us.

We really need to harvest about a bushel of green tomatoes to make piccalilli this year. We're about to run out of the scant amount we made last fall.

The only good sizeable crop we had last year was cantaloupe. We have enough cantaloupe jam to last till the fall of next year.

Glad you could stay in. I think the gust front got a couple of lines together in northern Coal County.

Interesting, never heard of it before.

We have had a wet spring and early summer. I watered the garden for the first time last week with soaker hoses, and started on the back yard today with the sprinkler to keep the bermuda green. The rest of the 4 acre yard can go dormant. Well, it will go dormant except for the sand burrs and then I can go around with a jug of ghyphosate and kill those.

Me either.
