Holy cow, are people built to take those kinds of temperatures?

Are chickens?

Covid, the heat, politics...it's a pressure cooker right now.

It's all relative to what you're used to, you can whine all you want!


Not without a/c in my opinion. We're breaking records this week, but the saddest part? A few years ago we were told this could be the new normal and we're seeing these temps far more than we did 20 years ago. I think I'm ready to move out if AZ! At least out of the valley here.

I almost quit keeping chickens because of the heat. There are things that can help them handle it better though.

I built all decking myself.

It's tempting! We aren't quite there yet and I doubt my husband would ever live in Cali again though.

Poor chickens.

I keep Turkens now and they handle it pretty well. They have fewer feathers than fully feathered chickens not just naked necks. I have wading pools that I add ice to in late afternoon, they get watermelon and cukes, and I wet down the inside of my mini coop and turn on the fan for them. They also get electrolytes a few days a week when it's like this.

But they still don't get TV or cable (Animal Planet re-runs) ?
