Our chickens were just loving the heat yesterday It was 41 + here in Qld and all my girls were out sand bathing and enjoying the sunny day. I spoke to the neighbor and he said his were the same just loving the summer day as where his ducks.

They do love the hot days its much better to have 40 than 4 if your a bird and the healthy fowls and all birds that are cared for correctly don't have any trouble in the heat.

Its only the weak and diseased that die in high temps its natures way of thinning out the heard.

Ours love the heat they are out and about even when its 38-40 and the lemon tree is popular when they want a bit of cool shade. I agree those fowls not looked after will feel the heat which is sad it should be their owners feeling the heat for mistreating them :x :x

My sussex were out scratching around on saturday and yesterday and it was 41 and 44 respectfully and they did not care a bit but then mine are very healthy chooks and no diseases here. They would run back to the coops for a quick drink then off again to play in the sun

All my wyandottes 58 of them were the same although I did not let them out in the middle of the day but they still made the most of the warm conditions here in ipswich

It was 43 yesterday bit hot for us but not the chooks, ducks and geese

We got to 46.5 deg and all our sussex took it in their stride but we have our coops well set out in plenty of shade and fresh water on hand. We had 47 last year and also no problems with the sussex I guess it pays to feed well and have strong healthy chickens

Someone said on facebook that an old woman lost half her chickens because they were out in a old rusty shed in the direct sun, :shock: [smilie=a_holycrap.gif] how dumb are some people and if its true those poor old chooks. I wish some people would not have animals. We have 47c in the shade yesterday and all mine were looking as good as usual and as you would expect
