Within reason, chickens acclimate to the local conditions. Mine start digging their sweaters out of storage when it gets much below 80.

13 gals. Averaged 6 eggs a day the past two weeks. Temps supposed to drop tomorrow. Highs in the mid 70's the next several days. I'm sure the gals are looking forward to it.

And here in central NC DH has taken time off tomorrow on the same day I had off because it's not going to break 90 and the humidity will be under 60% so we can work on the yard and the Chicken Palace.

I do lawn care and property management. Last 3 days I started at 7 and stopped at noon because I just couldn't handle those high temps and humidity. The older I get, the less tolerance for the hot weather I have.
