Any idea what your blood Alcohol level is now that your hydrating?

78 is boiling, 72 is hot. 65 is warm, 45-55 is nice. 13 is good winter weather, and -40 is cold.

I'm with her...

So true..I am not sure I don't have heat stroke from being out in this stuff!..Poor me!

Poor you.

You guys are all crazy! It's 67 here and I've been hiding inside all day cause it's too chilly out! I prefer it when it's 75-85° outside. Hotter is fine but then we head to the pool or hide in the AC lol

Do you wanna switch places? I've got lots of room for turkeys.

I agree, Wicked complains entirely too much, doesn't she?

Pffft! Whatever!

The chanties don't like this weather much, but they're all right if they're in shade.

Some of mine are out sunning themselves.

I think I need to tell my chanties to stop being wussy.

At least they're not as bad as Jazzy. She starts panting, acting lethargic, and holding her wings out at about 74°F.

Most of mine are inside now, I cannot have their feathers fading in the sun this time of year. I need them to be nice and dark bay colored for the next 3 months.

Ed complains about not being able to free range, but he will get over it and I will let him free range in March.

You should put a sun shade out for them and apply sunscreen. Maybe fan them so they have a cool breeze...lol.

Nice? Nice?

I gotta agree with the wussy dog owner.

Yes. A lovely clean zero. Gosh...who can drink in the heat? (Not me)

I'll have to remember not to ask for that! Ouch!

Jace, on the other hand, is my Florida birdy. She requires me to warm her feet if it goes below 40, and she gets brought in if it goes much below -15F. She thrives on the rare 88° days and I don't think I've ever seen her pant.

I think they draw the line at sunscreen.

Wussy dog. Wussy chickens. There are no words.

Mine are panting...yet they lie down and sun themselves on the black dirt.

I'd suggest you breed those two lines together and get yourself a normal bird.

I didn't even see this come in.

What? No sunscreen?

 

[Wickedchicken6]

I scared everyone away. Good...thread all to myself.
