Oy! Today takes the cake for high temp and humidity. I'm in MN and it is hot, hot, hot! For the last week it has not cooled down a bit. I find myself dunking in cool water 2-4 times a day. I dunked this morning at 8am due to the heat and cranky chickens! It's suppose to break tomorrow night. I don't know if my flock can handle it. With in 15 minutes of dunking they were dry.:/
Luckily my girls free range under shady trees. I have a hose running cool water for them to walk through. They seem to take their turns. Tonight, I just might kick them out of the coop and keep them in the run. I have it double secured with welded wire and hardware cloth. I'm not worried about any predator getting in.
Who else has high temps they are dealing with?
