Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
ballywing:
And it's not exactly warm out there either - I'm getting madder and madder at this ridiculous weather!! >:( - Better go count to 10... :P
Kinderchick:
Rain, rain, rain, will it ever let up?! What a GREAT mom and dad those little chicks have!
Shocka88:
My, but Princess is one very drenched Mom. :( Such a miserable rain for the family but at least there isn't a lot laying around........drain must be handling it. Sure hope it soon lets up.
ballywing:
Thanks TPC - Princess is such a great MoM! :-* But in this case it would be nice if Trey could abandon his 'guard station' for a bit and help out with umbrella duty. :-\

That's the plan at the moment - we'll leave the gravel there though ...

Haven't heard back from DA Matthews yet, but yes, I do know what the range is and will be sure to post in plenty of time for y'all to make tentative plans.

**TPC - they're a bit older now, over 10 days - so if the kids get a bit wet/cool can they handle it better at this point?? ???

They are in much better shape at this age than TLC were last year. You've all seen the chicks uncovered for most of the last couple of days, that's not because it was warm and windless here, but rather because they are able to thermoregulate (and getting better at it every day) and its dry. The chick piles help with the warmth as well. The could make it though light, brief rainshowers but all day drizzle/light rain they still need help with hence Princess getting soaking wet yet again. But the chicks look fine, exactly as I would expect them to look at this age in this weather. Princess is on them because she's bigger, but Trey won't be far away - he wasn't last year on June 6th and he won't be today, if only so he can go kill something whenever the chicks get too rowdy.
