I was flabbergasted by the temperature you noted. Good gracious. I bet the hens were hot! We live in Texas and it's been in the mid 90s or higher virtually everyday since sometime in May and will probably remain that way until sometime in mid to late October. We have probably about 3 dozen, more or less, chickens and guineas and they've seemingly adapted to temps. As we have quite a few head of other critters, we have several large livestock tanks and buckets around, so they (the hens) know to keep themselves well-hydrated and during the hottest part of the day, they'll spend in the shade, but, knock on wood, we've never lost a hen to heat stroke. Again, many thanks for sharing on your blog.Ken and Mary of Fancy Fibers Farmhttp://www.fancyfibers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211585144707526222.post-27448767548767661722010-07-15T05:14:55.049-04:002010-07-15T05:14:55.049-04:00Your gardens look wonderful.

What beautiful flower colors, and yes I do love the orange coneflower. We have had hot weather, but not up in the 100s, just mid-90s and some humidity. And we have had a couple of days now with scattered t-storms which have helped the hay fields and gardens. Thanks for sharing your flower gardens with all of us - I look out my window and see an asphalt parking lot - so any color and green is wonderful to see. Take care, from KY. Hope your chickens are going to survive the heat/humidity. Over at Life on a Southern Farm blog, Pam posted a video of her son's and grandson's chickens swimming in the swimming pool - maybe your gals would like a kiddie pool?
