Cornish X & Outside Temp

[Deepwoodz86]

Will be moving my first 15 meat birds out onto grass next week (They'll be 3 weeks 6/26). Temps have steady been stead around 95 and should be next week as well. With a fan is That too hot and too soon to put them out? Should I hold them inside till week 4? They'll be in an 8x6 Cattle panel hoop tractor with tarp over 1/2 to 3/4 If you'd like pics I can send them. I have 3 month old turkeys that have been handling the heat pretty well I've been cutting a fan on for them as well (probably excessive but I worry.)

As long as they have shade and plenty of water. The thing I find with dark coloured tarps is that they trap heat so make sure the ends and sides are open. A fan is a good idea too.

They are open and I haven't tarped it yet maybe I'll grab one of those light blue ones. Thanks for the reassurance

A white tarp will reflect the sun the best.
