"Pant pant. It's sooo hot!" We are sitting through this heatwave and waiting for it to pass with agonizing slowness. We've been sweltering through 4 days of over 40C with a final trump card from nature delivered to us today. Each time I look at the weather forecast, the top temperature for today has been hiked UP. It's currently going to have a top of 44C with a cool change predicted for late afternoon. We've pretty much been lying under the fan all day (we don't have A/C in the house) but for our chickens, we've hatched out new cooling strategies.

No, we didn't give the chicks away, we just moved them to a new location to help them integrate with the rest of the flock. The chicks were 4 weeks old when we decided to move them and I read that it was usually after 4 weeks that the mumma hen decides to wean them.
