Well, the good news too is our county fair is so small you could walk it in about 15 minutes. Not like the state fair in Puyallup that’s huge.

Course... that might be the bad news too. It might be a really long day. “So you wanna go look at the chickens again?”

Heh!!

Speaking of chickens...our meat chickens are all processed and in the fridge. The whole setup worked like a charm. Two cages, ten birds per cage. Each cage was moved several times a day and the area where they were was sprayed with a hose.

The back yard is spotlessly clean. You could seriously never tell we ever had twenty chickens back there for over two months. And the chickens got access to fresh grass.

We ended up with 15 of the 20. Four died of heat, one was sick and we culled it. But the rest were extremely healthy.

FYI if you haven’t left yet — I’m hearing that the interstate is partially blocked off and way backed up. Guess I’m taking the long way...
