I see there are a few other crazy Arizonians out there raising chickens. How are your flocks tolerating the heat this summer?

Not in Arizona but lots of us have lost birds this year from the excessive heat.

Howdy outwest,

Try looking for your state's thread in the Where am I? Where are you! section. But it's been hot here in Bama, too, this summer - I'm so ready for fall.

Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard.

You're welcome for the welcome. Here in Kansas it was toasty like everywhere else. The only loss I suffered was two Cornish X chicks at about 4 weeks old - the rest made it okay.

Welcome from Memphis. It's been miserable here too this summer. Can't wait for fall. Luckily all my chickens survived the heat.

Winter here in the South. Do miss the heat though...
