Finally home with all animals and the RV we were living in. Huge thank you to our community in Weiser, Weiser Valley Roundup , Payette Church of Christ, and friends for helping in a crisis we were not prepared for. I had faith in God that He would get us through this. He never fails to provide and love us. Thank you all who reached out and for the prayers! We rejoice in the Lord today and remember Jesus' sacrifice for us.

Even the farm dogs are trying to stay cool.
How are you holding up to the summer heat?

For our friends who may have a few chickens we thought we'd share some ideas for to help during the extra hot days.

Hot weather can be hard on laying hens. Chickens don't sweat like people do, so they cool themselves mainly by panting. Here are simple ways to help them stay healthy and continue laying eggs during the hottest months:

Provide cool, fresh water at all times. Refill waterers several times a day, place them in the shade, and consider adding ice on very hot afternoons.

Give them plenty of shade. Trees, shade cloth, or a well-ventilated coop can make a big difference.
Increase airflow by opening coop vents or using a fan outside the coop to improve air movement (without blowing directly on the birds).

Offer cool treats in moderation, such as chilled watermelon, cucumber, zucchini, lettuce, or frozen peas. These help with hydration.

Feed during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening, since hens eat less during extreme heat.

Make sure they have access to a dry dust-bathing area. Dust baths help keep feathers clean and can aid in comfort.

Avoid overcrowding, as crowded birds become overheated more quickly.
Collect eggs more often, since high temperatures can affect egg quality.
Watch for signs of heat stress:
•Panting with an open beak
Wings held away from the body
•Lethargy or weakness
•Pale combs or wattles
•Refusing to eat or drink
If a hen appears overheated, move her to a cool, shaded area, offer cool (not ice-cold) water, and gently cool her feet and legs with cool water. Avoid using ice water directly on the bird, as rapid cooling can cause additional stress.

Remember that it's normal for egg production to decrease somewhat during prolonged periods of extreme heat. Once temperatures become milder, most healthy hens return to their normal laying pattern.

A fitting verse for caring for the animals God has entrusted to us is Proverbs 12:10 (ESV): "Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."

We hope this helps, it has us and it's all part of the process.

Howdy 🤠 friends and family! We are over here cooking up some cooler weather lunch ideas. Here's one we like to serve on our Italian bread -
Egg Salad
Ingredients

6 SAS Farms eggs

¼ cup mayo (Olive oil mayo is good. We like to make our own.)

2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

¼ teaspoon sea salt

Ground black pepper

¼ cup finely diced red onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions:
Hard boil the eggs. Peel and chop.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
Mix in the onions, then fold in the eggs, chives, and dill.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Stir, then season to taste and serve.

There are variations and add ins to try. Maybe add finely chopped red bell pepper, or try basil and oregano? Serve on leaves of lettuce or crackers or your favorite bread!

We are all praying for rain. Our animals need it and those fighting the fires need it. Keep everything in prayer and trust our Lord and Savior God to provide.
To everything in His glory!
