Overheating can come on very quickly. Although more common in temps above 95 degrees, heat stress in chickens can happen in lower temps with high humidity. It occurs when they are unable to regulate their body temperature to cool off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission on sales at no additional cost to you. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you know if your chicken is in distress from heat stress:&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Heavy panting<\/li><li>Wings out from body<\/li><li>Lethargic<\/li><li>Difficulty breathing<\/li><li>Unbalanced&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pale comb<\/li><li>Unresponsive<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chickens will pant when hot to help lower their body temperature. They vibrate their throat muscles so warm moisture evaporates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will also extend their wings out from the body to allow air to circulate to help cool them down.&nbsp; Ours do this frequently when the temps get above 80 degrees. I don\u2019t worry too much as long as they look okay and are active.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mypetchicken.com\/backyard-chickens\/chicken-help\/Why-do-chicken-combs-look-so-different-from-one-H285.aspx\">chicken\u2019s comb<\/a> helps to regulate their body temperature. Birds with larger combs do better in hotter climates and birds with smaller combs do well in colder climates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A chicken\u2019s comb may lighten at different times of the day and brighten back up. I notice when the girls drink ice water on a hot day, their comb reddens up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just pay attention. If dull, monitor how they are acting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prevent Heat Stress in Chickens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your chickens have plenty of cool, fresh water. We put several pans of water out in addition to their normal waterers plus a few with stones in the bottom that they can stand on. Try to place where they won\u2019t be in direct sunlight. Chickens won\u2019t drink hot water and without water they can quickly become dehydrated and overheated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7991-768x1024.jpg?resize=457%2C610&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"extra pans to help avoid heat stress in chickens\" class=\"wp-image-3224\" width=\"457\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7991-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7991-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7991-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7991-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7991-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adequate shade is also important to prevent heat stress in chickens.The sun can be brutal in the summer so making sure they have a cool area to escape to will help them.&nbsp; In our backyard, it\u2019s 10 degrees cooler in the shaded areas.&nbsp; If you don&#8217;t have trees, use a tarp or a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OCvRq6\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shade cloth<\/a>. We put a shade cloth over the beehive and the bees seem less angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your coop has ventilation. This will allow hot air to escape out. If they don\u2019t free range, add windows that allow cross air flow. A fan in the coop is also a great option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you do if you suspect heat stress in your chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electrolytes &#8211; add to the water and make sure they are drinking. If not, give by a syringe.&nbsp; I use<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2E1C8Kh\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Sav-A-Chick<\/a> but there are several different ones on the market. You can even DIY your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 Cup water<\/li><li>2 teaspoons sugar<\/li><li>1\/8 teaspoon salt<\/li><li>1\/8 teaspoon baking soda <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dunk in cool water not cold. Dunk just the vent first and see if this helps. If not, dunk up to the neck. Rub water under wings and chest getting into the skin if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this, monitor your chicken for improvement. If not, I would bring the bird inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quarantine for a few days if necessary and continue with electrolytes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other ways to help your chickens&nbsp; stay cool <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Place frozen water bottles in the coop or run. Chickens will stand or lay next to it.\u00a0<\/li><li>Put feed out in the morning and evening and remove during the day. Digestion raises the body temperature a few degrees.\u00a0<\/li><li>Place a frozen water bottle in drinking water to help keep it cool. I\u2019ll put ice water out at lunchtime, which will last most of the afternoon but once it hits 100 degrees, I add a frozen water bottle to the waterer.\u00a0<\/li><li>Give frozen treats in the early or late afternoon. Only put out what the birds will eat. Leftover treats get mushy and attract flies. <\/li><li>Instead of dunking them in water, keep a spray bottle with cool water. Mist and rub into the skin under the chicken&#8217;s wings to help cool their body temp down<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more ideas on <a href=\"https:\/\/chikchikchicken.comindex.php\/2019\/06\/04\/keeping-chickens-cool-in-summer\/\">keeping chickens cool in summer,<\/a> check out that blog post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in hot climates, lighter breeds like Leghorns or Sexlinks do better. Heavy breeds or Dual-purpose chickens will have a harder time in hot climates. Trixie, our Buckeye, struggles the most. She\u2019s a big girl and I watch her more closely than the others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7993-768x1024.jpg?resize=424%2C563&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"avoid heat stress in chickens\" class=\"wp-image-3223\" width=\"424\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7993.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7993.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=424%2C563&amp;ssl=1 848w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/img_7993.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=424%2C563&amp;ssl=1 1272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve seen several posts this week where people have lost their chickens to heat stress.
