Summer temperatures are really warming up, learn how you can help keep your chickens safe in hot weather with these tips, which include closing hot nest boxes and employing open-air substitutes such as large baskets.


When in doubt, get more chickens!
It's not the heat, it's the humidity

Who's yer DADDY?!
Always be kinder than necessary.
I'M UP!
We understand you have our sister's lunch money.

While not a chicken owner :( I am a wildlife rehabber and backyard bird feeder. I feed tons of dried mealworms and could always use some more…
