Yes. I just thought I was gonna die from heat exhaustion inside the coop. She was fine, but I'm no spring chicken :)

Mine just started laying. She's laid 6 eggs so far - and the first one was TOTAL drama like nothing I've ever seen. I even wrote a little story about it: How I played midwife to our Ameracauna - It was an adventurous day! LOL
