I am certain there is a big difference between chickens that can free range and have access to shade under trees and bushes and can dig holes to lie in, or find the cool concrete of a barn or anything like that, and those that are confined to their coop and run. Also between 110 degree heat and 95. Also between chickens that have had a chance to acclimate and those that haven't because the weather changed quickly. Those that have a chance to cool down each night and those that have to put up with hot days and nights.
Of course chickens can die from heat stress. If yours have no trouble with it, count yourself - and your chickens - lucky. For those whose chickens are struggling, we need to find solutions...
