After the Heat, the Cold Snap

[3KillerBs]

So, dangerous heat mid-week, low of 58F last night and it won't break 80F today, then back to dangerous heat mid-week.

I was worried about the babies in the integration pen because they're not 4 weeks until tomorrow, but they came through fine.

Chickens are tough, adaptable animals -- they probably take these rapid weather swings better than we do.

Here in SD, we have large temperature swings all through the year. It is not unusual to have swings of 40-60 degrees or more, in the winter and summer.

Never seems to phase mine.

We're more likely to get wide swings late fall through early spring.

Summer temps staying between 90-100F with nights in the 70's for weeks is normal here in June, July, and August.

People are talking a lot about the terrible heat wave, but we've actually had a late-arriving summer after a cold spring.

We had a cold spring too.
