Yeah. Those birds were the happiest ones to go into the a.c. in the poultry barn. Also some of the worst to look at because they almost always had poop smeared over them (put shavings in the carriers, people) and they had the strongest chicken butt smell. And after handling no joke almost 200...
These are birds that kids and their parents shove in cardboard boxes and put in the trunk of their car to drive to fair in 100° heat. Not birds I'm just happening to take out of a coop, and certainly not my birds.
I dunno 😅, I've pulled some pretty damp birds out of boxes for fair check in. To be fair those birds almost always had issues other than being damp thpugh, and I can promise they weren't damp from just having been washed.
Well, my coop reached 95 a few days ago (got the fan hung up so no more evacuations) and the silkies were panting along with everyone else until they were moved to a breezy area
