Next week in Missouri the weather will be in the triple digits with who knows how high the humidity will be. I have a dozen 6 to 8 week chicks that really need to be outside but I am really concerned about this crazy weather. Right now they're in my garage that I can keep a bit cooler with fans and occasionally opening the door from my house to cool things down. They are, however, getting a bit snippy about being kept inside. Is it OK to let them be outside? There is abundant shade and I can wet down the area for them. I just worry they won't make it through this heat. But they need the simulation the outdoors offer to alleviate their boredom. I am not sure what to do.
