You have my sympathy. It’s tough.

It is.

I’m so sorry. This heat has been unbearable. Our two are still hanging in there. I did put a wading pan in, but they don’t seem too interested. I’m thinking of waiting till spring to get new chicks. It will be quite a process to raise and integrate. I have a feeling this heat will last until...

It actually got quite humid later that day and for the following days arter the 118°. Where we live in the San Gabriel Valley, 105° in the summer and into the first of fall is not uncommon. But the chickens seem to “handle” that temperature fine.

Thank you. I’ll take your advice. I kept these girls in house for 3 months when they were babies!

Laid eggs and were walking around. I left for a bit and came back and 2 were gone. That quick. Today...

This heat was unusual I just heard someone else in our area lost 3. I have never seen it this hot here. Glad your integration went well. I’m trying to find a couple of speckled Sussex chicks.

your girls are super cute!

Thanks for all the info. I’m so nervous about raising baby chicks again and integrating. Chickens can be so mean!
