The heat will impact their egg laying. Keep the water up to them and up the protein level in their feed.

Sorry if the photo was offensive.to answer your question.. Although I'm no great photographer, I come from a family of photographers and I suppose it's just our instinct to document. I just wanted one last picture, to hold onto him somehow. It's really ridiculous how attached I was to him

Its not ridiculous at all, we all want some reminder of our pets. Hope you feel better.

Condolences Pinky, I think everyone here knows what it's like to feel loss for a beloved pet. I thought your photos were both a fine tribute.

Does anyone know if Isas are prone to broodiness? My top chook Glados seems to be in the nesting box whenever I check (morning and afternoon) and when I tried to check under her for eggs just now she gave me a hard peck!

No it's not typical for an isa brown to be broody. However they are prone to being egg bound. I give mine generic sardines in olive oil.
