Same. Real feel here was like 116 earlier? I waited until 8:30 p.m. to feed and water Monday and was outside until midnight. It’s just way too hot. I swore if we had a summer like last year I was going to sell a bunch. I just can’t handle the heat and neither can they.

It's hot here. That's for sure. My girls are P.O. and screaming anytime I go near them.

I haven't lost any yet and still have both the black and chocolate chicks that I hatched from your eggs. They're doing well but terrified of the bigger chicks and adults.*

I will take some pics for you later.

I'm worried about mine but they seem to be handling it alright because we have a good breeze. And yeah had two hatch out some and 3 where lost to the heat. Only the Ameraucanas seem to be taking it the worst.

Me too on the waiting till 8pm to do much out side. I tried more last Friday and got over heated and dehydrated in about 30 to 45 minutes. I get home and emeditly at lest do water.
