Ugh. I mainly just need to vent about the heat.

I'm in NC and the heat index is pushing 110 today.

I've got 2.fans on the coop, 2 fans on the run, tarps hung to block what sun there is ( luckily their castle is build under 3 old oak trees). They have flat dishes with cold water bottles and a little bit of water in them. I've put cold frozen water bottles where they like to sleep.

Tomorrow is supposed to be worse so I'm making huge ice cubes to put out at lunch tomorrow... in front of the fans to make makeshift swamp coolers.

Hosed off the roof and misted down the run.

Refilled all the waterers with fresh cold water.

And they are still hot!

Ugh! My poor birds.
