Too hot help

[Jkchicks19]

Chickens are often times not real long lived animals. It does not happen often, but it is not uncommon to find a bird dead in the morning. I think she might have just died, and nothing to do with the heat. You have a lot of shade there, and dry heat is much different than heat + high humidity.

Shade and water and birds should do fine in temperatures over 100 degrees, much better in dry 100 degrees.

Don't lock them up in the coop, and you could just hose the outside of the coop down early evening and that should drop the inside temperature.

It’s been around 100 here too...trying to keep them cool...tomorrow I have to work all day and will be 100 as well...was thinking if bringing back in the house in the brooder. They are too big for it...but can’t tolerate 100 temp! Any suggestions?

Taking the birds in and out of the that will only make them hotter, the best thing to do is provide shade and water and cool dirt to dust bathe and relax in and a fan.They should do just fine in the heat.

Also your birds are New Hampshire reds not Rhode Island reds.
