I use a Taylor digital oven thermometer. Got it at Ace and seems to work pretty good. Doe not measure Humidity though.

We got one at osh for 10 bucks I think that does both and is pretty good. they take some, ( not a whole ton) of abuse . Its blue adn digital and has humidity on the bottom and temp at the top. Ok, found the **** thing, tis called acu rite

I'm not sure if it interferes with their protein needs, but they DO like scraps over their feed, for sure! I give mine a lot of veggies (cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, etc.) because we don't have any grass left in the back yard and they need greens in addition to their feed.


Also, I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I read that corn increases their body temperature. I try not to give them corn (even their feed) in the middle of a hot day like today for that reason. Instead, I take out frozen fruits and veggies (no corn), watermelon rinds or cabbage and lettuces.

Thanks!!

assuming it is ok but can you mix save a chick with the apple vinegar?

OMG, it has been hot, hot, hot. I just got home from spending the day at the State Fair. I had an event I was judging this morning at 7:30 and another event I was running at 2:00 in the afternoon. In between, it was miserable. I tried to spend as much time in AC as possible, but you have to go from one building to another (and back to the parking lot).

Yikes, HOT

I hope the weather has cooled down some for the poultry show next weekend.

We were supposed to go today, but it said it was going to be 100 at 1030 PM.. NOT doing that.

Quote: I really had no choice, since I had contracted for the two events.

The poultry show is next weekend, coop-in Friday morning, judging on Saturday and coop-out Sunday night, Fur & Feathers (Building 6) at the Exposition Center (the big cement complex with the brick area in the center).
