Yep, gotta remember air flow.
Today's 103 was apparently a record breaker for here on that date. Tomorrow's record is 103 and they're projecting 104.
Tonight at feeding time (they hadn't even finished their breakfast) I watered down everybody's runs. The large fowl I had to chase out into their unfamiliar run and lock them out of the coop for a couple of hours so they could cool down. Tomorrow, I'll start the day by wetting their runs and let it get some evaporative action going on. Maybe mid day I can get out there and do it again.
edited to add: I just read a report that stated it was 108 today! Ugh! I don't doubt that. What horrible heat!
