Oh and I forgot to add. It's 96+ degrees outside here in Illinois. Yes exactly as you stated. When you walk outside, it is like a heat slap. And we have like 55%+ humidity. So it's sticky, and hot. Ugh.
I feel so bad for all my animals in the summer. My horses are sweating just standing around...
aww it looks like you are doing a very good job of caring for them.
I went through the same dilema. Went to a feed store seen some cute chicks. Begged to get them. lol I had no clue about chickens. They were the sweetest little boogers. They were named Boo and Ozzie. Mine were black Cornish...
