According to the weather channel it's 94 degrees outside right now, with a heat index of 104. It's been this way for two weeks & no end in sight.
My chickens are dealing well with the heat, but I spend all day running back and forth between the brooder and the coop making sure my little ones and the big 'uns are cool enough and have fresh water.
I have 6 dozen eggs in the fridge right now and my 13 girls are laying an about 8 to 10 eggs a day. Need to call my egg customers tonight.
I wish the girls would take a break, but I don't know of any way to convince them to.
