We are on our umpteenth record heat day here. Fortunately, it looks like is is going to cool off here this week. You know that it has been hot when mid to upper 80's sounds cool. Because we have larger breeds, our chickens have really been feeling the heat. We have found them panting many times which is a sign that they are heading for trouble. We have them in full shade at the moment. We have been feeding the chickens frozen treats such as small bits of fruit and vegetables. We have also been putting ice in their water. Today, it is so hot, we finally broke down and our running fans out to the coop. It is just too dangerously hot out there today. I will be glad when it finally cools down after tomorrow. In the meantime, we are trying to keep our girls and one boy as cool as possible.
