Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 My chooks are doing a similar thing - they've also got their beaks open and appear to be panting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 You've got to feel soryy for them in their little feather jackets,haven't you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Mine are very hot too - I wasn't at home for lunch today so Phil went round and watered them for me with the can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Mine weren't keen on being watered. I always think it looks like they are wearing a cardigan when they hold their wings out like that. Your picture's almost like looking out my window with a Katy look-alike and a white tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Tell you what's a great way of cooling down - when you get home, put a clean t shirt and pair of pants in a plastic bag in the freezer, then have a cool shower and put them on - Fantastic!

Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 My girlies have taken to sharing dust baths under the hedge, the coolest place in the garden. Wonder if I could fit under there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Our newnewbies are making dustbaths and loving every minute of it - what a joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 9.10am and already it is like Death Valley in the garden. Have draped an old duvet cover over the Eglu to provide more shade and have then watered it liberally. Will repeat as necessary to try to keep the girls cool. We'll see if it works. Am having an extension to the run deliverd later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Duvet cover is a good idea as it will provide some shade - make sure there is some ventilation for them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Oh yes. It is only over the end of the Eglu. Watered twice now and bone dry again. Off to water it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyren Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'm supposed to be doing a couple of hours "working from home" this morning - it's our department's annual punting trip this afternoon (up to Grantchester and back) but I couldn't face it in this heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 now a punt on the river - it sounds good - but only if there are plenty of young elegant men in stripey blazers and straw boaters and loads of pimms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
