Good Lord, does that happen? Was she young and healthy? My chickens have been hot as h*!! too. I'm giving them frozen fruit and ice water, but maybe it's not enough. The fruit and ice doesn't last all day!! I keep wishing I could throw them in the pool. Poor babies.Lost a hen today. It makes me so sad. I wish this heatwave would go away. It looks like she just fell over in mid stride while she was walking. Poor thing!!!
Hello everyone! I'm new here and to raising chickens. We recently lost 4 to what we believe is a raccoon. We made some modifications to the run and so far no more casualties. I'm looking to buy more chicks but can't find a local breeder. I'm surrounded by farms and keep coming up empty. Any breeders in Allegheny or Washington County?
I'm excited to chat with everyone and soak up as much information as possible.
what is DE?I know I'm gonna get flack for this, but I have been using DE in the coop and in the run. I saw an immediate difference in the flies and smell.
AAAWWW, I am so sorry to hear about your loss!! This heat is pretty brutal... I heard frozen watermelon is great for them... just freeze some rinds and throw em out to em... the added water in the watermelon and the coldness apparently help... obviously you know more than I do though! Hope the rest of your flock fares better!Lost a hen today. It makes me so sad. I wish this heatwave would go away. It looks like she just fell over in mid stride while she was walking. Poor thing!!!
