new baby rooster

[Blooie]

Yeah, I kinda figured that. I am really more concerned about heat distress during our brutal summers. Our hot weather can last into November sometimes. We have even been known to wear shorts on Christmas morning. We have a huge industrial-sized mister fan that sprays a light cool mist - not enough to get ya wet - just enough to cool you off. I may have to break it out soon. Our daytime highs have been in the 90's and in the 70's and low 80's at night. So needless to say keeping my chickens warm will probably never be an issue.

Your diplomacy made me chuckle "you need to do what you think is best for your flock..." just say - look bird-brain you live in South Louisiana you don't need to worry about frost bite - you need to worry about heat stroke! Ha Ha.

Anyway, thanks again for all of your help.

I am known for my subtlety.

I lived on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi for a few years I so remember the heat and humidity.
