I know this is a silly question since I live in northern Wisconsin. But today it was a very unusual (for us) 94F and humid. My
chickens are designed for the cold. The
chickens had their mouths open and were panting from time to time. They're free range so they spent most of their day in the shade in the woods. The coop has both windows open at night (there is a breeze) but they were panting a bit when I shut them in for the night.
They have plenty of
water and food. I gave them a big bowl of cold water with some ice packs in it and I saw a few drinking it.
Is the panting normal or
should I do something? If so, what?
It's supposed to be hotter than hell like this for the next week. I'm thinking I'll have to move further north....
