Hi, I ordered baby chicks back in march and the soonest pick up date available was mid July. I didn't think anything about it at the time, but now that my first set of chicks are 10 weeks old and my second set of chicks are 5 weeks old, I understand the time and care needed to maintain the correct environment for them.
My concern is that our temps are generally 95 to 105 during mid July with overnights dropping into the 80's. August isn't any better. It's extremely hot and humid with little breeze. Am I better off pushing my pickup date to fall to avoid excessive heat? I'm really concerned about being able to keep them cool after the first few weeks. Please advise.
