Rain and More Chicks

 Summer is here!  Every day we are getting rain.  Even when it looks like no rain, there is rain a minute later.  My guess is we are making up for the loss of rain in April.  That is creating a new problem.  I'm worried that some of the chicks will get washed away.  The brooding chickens have not stopped.  Yesterday, I found a chick lying in the run that a broody chicken is in.  I thought it was dead.  I opened the door to the run.  The chick jumped up.  I noticed another chick.  I hope they survive.  I have seen a bunch of dead chicks.  I am letting nature take the wheel.  Getting back to the rain, it is helping the garden that I am trying to grow.  I am really putting in the effort.  I tell you, starting from a seed is a real pain in the behind.  I would say I have had a 50% success rate.
