LOL I didnt get much sleep last night and telling half stories. It was hotter then hell here today

I dont believe 120 but I do believe it was hot enough to kill chickens today

Doesn't the "feels like" temperature take humidity into account? It wasn't actually 120 there, but it your body can't cool off because of the humidity so it may ad well be 120.
In dry heat, chickens can't take much over 105. Dry heat is easier to cool them off though.

A post I made early today said one site showed us at feels like temp of 120

I'm so thankful for our 86* temp after seeing y'all temps.

In dry heat, your sweat evaporates, cooling you. When it's humid, like here, that doesn't happen. Sweat just rolls down your body, coating you and leaving you feeling sticky. There's no relief.
