I don't know how all of you who get high temps all the time cope. Where we are I think it got to 44 today I had to bring Bear in he's panting dreadfully, at the moment he's laying on the tiles in front of the aircon. He never had such a hard time of it. But he's 9 in February. The chooks are coping really well, we just keep giving them fresh water at least every hour.
Love the comb Beatrice.
Love the happy pills too.
Ohh, poor Bear, hope he's feeling better now. For my chickens I hose down the trees in the shade for them and the grass, or set up a sprinkler. They sleep with a fan at night. I'm keeping a closer eye on them this summer as last summer I had Annabelle get heatstroke that weakened her and lead to her getting a respiratory infection. I hope relief is in sight for you, I don't even want to think about how hot that feels. Was it a dry heat, or humid as well? God, it's not even January yet.
And Beatrice thanks you for your admiration.
I had 3 grandkids here, and Bear in a bad way, my 18year old son and I were trying to keep everyone cool. We had a sprinkler going and I hosed down the trees and the coops filled water bowls constantly. I have a frizzle that has no feathers and I was worried about her and she was fine. I got the Maran from my nephew so she could be one of his first and quite old she didn't lay very often so I assumed she was old.
