It’s pretty hot here for me and my flock and I have a broody hen. I’m super worried about her she’s just standing over her eggs and panting! I don’t know what to do! Will she be okay or do I need to pull her off for a little?
 
How hot is 'pretty hot'? , and is she in direct sunlight?
No she’s in the coop and it’s 98 degrees Fahrenheit. I know it’s not that hot for some people but here it doesn’t usually get above 90 just randomly in the summer.
 
Put a therm in there and find out. ;)

How is the ventilation on your coop?

I'd give her some electrolytes.
Will do! It has two little windows in the front and a big long one in the back. I have some so I’ll give her some tomorrow. Unfortunately it’s supposed to be really hot tomorrow and then cool down.
