We are having two days of much needed heavy rain, after three weeks without.
(@Molpet I'm using that time having to stay inside to adapt the egg tracking spreadsheet file you pointed out to me. It's saving me quite some time from doing it all from nothing, so thank you a lot for that link !)
A lot of rain is no fun for the chickens, especially the two unwell hens, Cannelle and Blanche.
They are all sheltering in the coop and run, even Théo, who did not want to stay alone without Merle and Piou-piou. This is new for him, up to now he was too scared of Gaston and spent rain days under our lunch table. Indeed he was thrown out of the coop a few times, but now Gaston seems to be pretending he's not there.
Here are some pictures from yesterday.
Blanche is doing a bit better, though not significantly. She is eating a little of both commercial food and other things.
One of our older neighbour who's into planting brought us over a bunch of saplings : blackberries, two apple and two pear trees, and a dozen baby peach trees (none have ever survived here so hopefully this time, at least one will. He says we imperatively need to treat them with "bouillie bordelaise", that's a very diluted copper sulfate and lime mix).
As always when we do thing in the soil the chickens love it.
Cannelle liked the waterer especially.
