Anything under 40 degrees Celsius, a chicken can survive with adequate hydration. Sorry to hear your bad news, but I suspect there will be quite a few livestock deaths in this present heatwave.<br /><br />I didn't measure the actual temperature at our place, but weatherzone.com said we got to 42 degrees. It was sweltering outside. I hosed down, both of our coops, in the middle of the day. I was worried about them. One of our chickens got out though, and if I hadn't checked later in the day, and let her back in, she would have died. She had no access to water and no means to get back in the coop otherwise.<br /><br />I consider myself fortunate on that score. Well done on your recent finds though (meat safe) and coping with this heat.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889171487479707960.post-44011316967150137262017-02-11T21:42:39.305+11:002017-02-11T21:42:39.305+11:00Wow you are getting it hot!
