Fewer eggs...?

Been giving a dose of Sav-A-Chick electrolytes/vitamins about once a week, it really seems to help

I'll have to pick some up today.
I only have Nutri-Drench for Poultry.

no AC in my house

I have A.C. two window units. I don't know how you do it. Maybe iced Margaritas?
I wish you well. GC

X2 on the electrolytes. Our coops and runs are in the shade but it's still too hot. I don't recall having this issue before. We've put electrolytes in fresh water everyday at noon and give them straight water at night. My man said when he came home the goats were looking lethargic so everyone's been getting electrolytes. Its amazing to see how quick they perk up after.

Nice idea on the ice block!

They should always have plain water available at the same time as the electrolyte dose......and the electrolytes shouldn't be over done, once a week maybe.

Just got the idea of ice blocks here recently, someone uses cake pans. Makes a lot of sense and has worked well, ice cubes disappear so fast in this heat. Wish I had the shallower bins with lids.

I don't know how you do it. Maybe iced Margaritas?

I whine a lot, no booze here. Cold showers, ice bags under the ceiling fan, iced seltzer with cube crunching for me and the dog. Cooler nights save my sanity.

Yeah, we're on the sixth day of mid 90s with heat indices of 105*.
Last evening after sunset, I went out to lockup the coop.
One of my hens was on the floor in a corner with her eyes closed.
I picked her up and she was listless.
I got their wading pan, and fill a jug with cold water.
I put her in the pan and slowly added water, about two inches deep.
She responded immediately, in five minutes she wanted out.
I put her back in the coop on the lower roost and she stayed, her sisters were on the upper roost.
This morning at 5am she was still on the roost. All came out to drink and eat.
She's the Alfa hen and my best layer, 6-7 a week.
This is the first time I had a heat emergency with my flock.
All my girls are 27 months old, got them as day old chicks. GC

Wow. I’m so thankful it’s not that warm here. I did the conversion and we would be in the 60’s here.

Not quite, we'd all be dead I think..... typo in your conversion maybe?

95°F is 35°C

And 40c = 104 Fahrenheit.

Yeah, I'm glad its not 140F too. I would have to bring my chickens in the house. GC
