i just brought my chocolate orpingtons inside too hot for them. but ducks are fine lol. and geese fine too. waterfowl has the water advantage

I'd advise caution. Going from heat to cool back to warm later might be worse than just dealing with the heat.

Yesterday was the first storm of the season. It was violent, we got 3" of rain in less than an hour. That's a huge amount in the desert. There was widespread flash flooding and damage and at least one death.

Our coop and house were damaged. We spent an hour outside in the storm trying to protect everything as best as we could.

The flock is okay. That was one heck of an introduction to their first monsoon season. They are still young at 14 and 11 weeks and were terrified by all the noise and chaos. They nearly crushed each other trying to get away from it.

We have a lot of rebuilding to do.

it’s not really that cool actually just about 20 degrees different there’s no ac just a dehumidifier in a lower levelgarage type room. but yes you are right. in the morning the temp inside and outside should match up and that’s when I’ll let them back out. I think today was the last day of our heat wave.

I'm sorry that you have property damage, Emma. I hope it isn't too extensive or expensive.

June 23 and 85 degrees. .5 inch of rain last nite. It has been a good spring for us in central illinois and so far summer ain't bad. don't believe what our weather men say, I keep my own records and let's just say the weather people are big liars.
