This is my first year raising my girls, only 4 allowed within city limits. They have grown & thrived, and have become part of our family. I live in the central valley of California, yesterday was particularly hot, 102, but I have them located in a shaded area of the yard, with a large tarp in addition for extra shade. They received cold watermelon and cabbage in the am, and when my 11 yr old granddaughter went out to give them a second helping of watermelon early afternoon, she found Henny Penny in the nesting box, dead. We are sadden and Emmy is heartbroken. We have raised these girls from 8 wk chicks and have tried to be responsible parents. We had a long hot spell last year that they pulled thru just fine, so not sure if it was the heat that got our girl or what? She had laid her egg (we counted 4 eggs for the day) so she didn't have a blockage. Any ideas of why this could have happen? She seemed perfectly fine in the AM. I keep a 2.5 gallon water jug full for them, so plenty of water on hand. Thanks for any advice you can share...
