Hey there, I live in Portland, Oregon and it's about 105 outside during the day. I have two chickens and a duck in my backyard and I was wondering if anyone had any information on heat stroke in chickens, if it's common for chickens in hot weather..? anything along those lines.
The other day i came home and found my largest, friendliest hen face down in a tub of water that my duck uses to bathe in, there were no apparent injuries on her. It was bizarre considering that my chickens want nothing to do with water (other than drinking) and she was fine the hour before.
Any ideas? Thanks.
