1/2 the barn powerwashed

We got half the barn powerwashed this morning. We did each cage, and pan. We also powerwashed the floor. We still have the 3 stackers and the other side of the barn to do but it was a good job to get done today. It is supposed to be about 100 F here today. It was up to 111 F the past couple of days. It was crazy! We all hate this heat.

We lost 3 rabbits in this heat :(

We are in the process of buying an air conditioner for the barn. This heat was too intense and with no insulation and a metal roof the barn doesn't get as warm as outside but it was 35.5 degrees C the past couple of afternoons. TOO HOT. We have 5 fans going- including an industrial fan, frozen pop bottles in each cage and a soaker hose on the roof.

Last weekend we brought home 39 ducklings- 35 pekins, a pair of white calls, and a pair of Khaki campbells. We also came home with 24 chicks :)

We are making a deal on Mini lops to make cage space- Buy any 3 mini lops on the for sale page, and get a 4th for free : )
