It's 90 degrees in the coop, yet I just had to.....

Chickens ARE smart. They just want you to think they're dumb so they can take over the world in your oblivion.

At least yours are using a nest box.

You get used to it.
The other day,it was 110 degrees and my buff orp was in with my broody hen,my ameraucana,serama and a leghorn.

We have 10 nestboxes,and they chose the tiniest,cramped one that was in the sun.

That's funny. 100 degrees in the shade here, and as I was just leaving the coop, I thought,"Stupid broodys, you are going to die like that." and then I thought....oh the shame... "I have a couple I wouldn't miss." and then I felt REAL shame.

but maybe I am not alone. we will call our tempers 'temperature induced.'

Yes, I have some very cranky chickens too. Being extra careful not to pass out (from the heat) in the chicken yard. I don't want to be on their menu.

My big fat brahmas ONLY want a nestbox that another chicken is already using. I think they have a screw loose.

That is what I have told them.

I think they have selective hearing

Featherz, that is a great pic!!

I bought two glazed ceramic eggs and put one in each of two of the boxes, so mine will make use of those at least and a third once in a while. I have 8 pullets that could be laying within a month or so, so I'm trying to decide on how to make two more nest boxes, though I doubt they'll use them!
