Welcome Swirler.
It is SO hot here too. Not
quite so bad as over your way. But still.
I'm not handling the heat very well at the moment. I was just lying starfish on the floor a few minutes ago
its the coolest part of the house.
I gave my chickens watermelon yesterday, they LOVED it. The silkies were going crazy. It amuses me seeing something so small, cute and fluffy viciously attacking something.
My little chickies are six days old today. I observed this morning that they have doubled their size already. Their fluff is getting longer too, which is strange. It's sort of more like a long haired puppy fur then chick fluff.
A little late I know but here are the videos of Lonely's hatch. I didn't get her popping out. but by the end her head is dangling
And h_palmer, yes you can give chickens baths. Just like a dog. But make sure the shampoo/detergent/soap is relatively non toxic. When your finished, towel dry them and then lock them somewhere they cant dust bath. They're like dogs that way too
