110° heat index.

In Florida the heat index is already at 108°, actual temp is 95°. My hen Annibelle is out there, in the shade and dust bathing (I can see her on camera). Should I get my sister to move her inside? She has two water sources with drops of vinegar in them. Trying not to freak out. It was 104° heat index sterday and she was fine.

My girls so far are ok..but yes these temps are getting a bit much. I have noticed they won't get out of the shade durring the day but as the sun moves they do move. I give all treats frozen and thinking about a mini pool set up this weekend. I don't have a way to set up a fan. I feel so bad for them, I can barley stand the heat at 8am.

So far with adding the addition of frozen jugs, wetting down the sand (no real dirt here), and adding a kiddie pool (actually an unused clean kitty litter pan). Annabelle seems to be fine. I think I'm the one that's miserable, she looks at me like "what's the big deal?" I give her LOTS of ice in her water and toss some in her pool (which she doesn't know what to make of). Lots of blueberries swirling in ice and fresh corn drenched in ice water. I have one of those mister things but it died. I'm gonna try to get spray nozzles for it and try to get it operational again.
And of course has lots of shade and now two fans.
