[CHICKENS-101] Guinea and Chick question

 

Hi,

My Keets are two weeks old and have their brooder in the greenhouse.  Although, I have a big exhaust fan, two smaller circulation fans and one on a stand with the tubing that sprays water, but the temperature is still 96 degrees inside;  I don't know if they can survive this kind of heat.  It's supposed to get over 100 degrees in a couple of days, and I imagine the greenhouse will get even hotter.  Is there anything I could do to make them more comfortable?

The Hens will be 16 weeks old Saturday, and all of them are panting and trying to stay cool.  Should I be concerned with the heat, or will they find places to stay cool?  They are free to roam but staying in close to their house.  Both Keets and Chicks have plenty of fresh water. 

I'd really be sad if anything happened to these babies.

Thanks

Anne H.
