So I have 4 very fat and happy Cornish crosses that are 12 weeks. I have really pushed the envelope on their age, but I did all the things neccesary to "slow them down" so to speak.
They really are active, no leg issues, still chase each other around etc.
My problem is they are scheduled at the processor this Saturday, two days from now.
Tomorrow is supposed to be freakishly hot, 95 degrees. I called the processor can't take them early or I would drop them off tonight.
I am going to be so bummed if I loose them to heat stroke after 12 weeks and one day shy of processing.
They are primarily in the shade for most the day. I am planning to put out a few extra water buckets with ice and possibly plug in a fan to blow on them.
Any other idea to get them through a 24 hour heat wave?
We have had such strange weather. We had freezes here just three weeks ago, now we are getting weather we don't normally see until July.
Thanks
Kat
