EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Oh wow Pen... Getting up there..only June.

I know and with the North winds lately it’s really dried up.

 

[mlm Mike]

Yes. . Finally hitting the 80's here now. May get rain on Thursday and Friday. Not much they say. The sun is out, the rivers are flowing because of the snow melting in the mountains. Hikers are being warned about flooding in certain places.

The rain eventually came, and there was plenty of it.

How 35C° 70%humidity sounds?

We're at 74F and 45% humidity. Rather comfortable.

104 today. Lost one Bielefelder hen. There’s plenty of shade and water for them to be cool. Here’s hoping they’ll do better coming up. Cooler for rest of week. Low 90’s

Oh no! So sorry. Mine did well.. didn't get that high though. We do hit 100 at times, not that much over.

 

[Pensmaster]

Thanks. We’ve been 112 here before. As long as it doesn’t stay that hot for long they can usually handle it.

I remember Arizona at 117*... At least I removed my coat and snow pants!

 

[Cynthia12]

I don't do heat Bull...good grief!

I fell back asleep in Colorado. When I was woken, I was freezing, so I thought we’d only gotten a few miles to another truck stop before dh had to go to the bathroom again. I put my snow gear back on, and climbed out, putting my foot into white SAND. I took a few steps before I realized I was hot. Boy, those other truckers sure looked at me funny!

Visited my bil on the hottest day on record in Lake Havasu City. It was nearly impossible to breath outside.
