If Chickens Could Talk…

January 31, 2009 @ 10:42 By Gavin Webber 6 Comments

They would say "Thank you very much.  You are my heroes!".  That would go exclusively to Kim and Ben for keeping them alive during this heat wave.

Kim and Ben’s heroic actions of keeping the chooks cool by spraying them with a mist of water, every two hours over the last three days has been exemplarily.  I am so impressed because as I have written before, Kim doesn’t handle the heat well at the best of times, so to be brave enough to go out into 42-45C heat every two hours was just simply fantastic and above and beyond the call of duty.  If they had a Victoria Cross for heat waves, then you two would get it.

Well done to you both, I am so proud of you!  Edwina, Bunty, Polly, and Ginger blow you both a big kiss.
