heat distress

Hi guys. I have two pet ducks that I keep in my garage. They have access to water(Not the biggest bucket but they can deep their entire head in it) and food 24/7. This week temperature will rise to 97 F and today temperature was 89 F. My Anacona duck suddenly started the breathing from the mouth...

Hello! I have a blue andulusian (11 months) who has been much paler in the past couple weeks. Now, the temperature and humidity here has spiked recently (central Florida) and this hen has always been sensitive to heat, for whatever reason; strange, since the breed is supposedly heat tolerant...
