Awe no, I'm so sorry you lost a good rooNo kidding. this heat is just crappy. I lost my lovely rooster the other day. He had a almost fatal stroke at night (I had to put him down) he had stressed a some three days prior. I was pulling out all my stops to keep him cool ad well and he did seem almost recovered by bedtime that eve. Had a vet appointment for him... I let him roost with the girls not knowing what the next day would bring. Roosters like him seem far and few and I will miss him very much. I'm hoping that i can duplicate him from one of my hatches. Wouldn't that be wonderful... then move somewhere cool lol.
Any ways, back to the heat/hell. Not a fan at all... grateful for a good trade wind blowing today. With climate change they say our trades have cute down 40% since the 80's. Sure feels about right. That changes a lot for us Westsiders.
I had the most awesome boy ever too once, so miss that guy. I hope you get another good boy from your hatches.
. Gorgeous small tree/shrub fantastic light feathery pennate leaves. Lovely as a specimen or in group plantings. Beautiful 
Still have not made the monthly feed run, however, I have two animals who need vetting in town in the AM so will get that done then.
chase him after the deed lol. But he is pretty sneaky. I have hopefully scared away the young wild rooster who was thinking he was gunna be the big guy in charge and since his departure, leaving a few feathers as he left (2 days but maybe 20 years in chicken) Kea has been hanging around in the spotlight more. Good, I do like him, maybe soon it will be love.
Do naked necks stay cooler for you than your other breeds? It must be a huge challenge keeping them cool too... I used to live in the desert... it's not for sissy's.
