and Missouri knows what your talking about =)
I know you do! Are you guys going to cool down soon? They say it will be 70 for a high here on Saturday.
@@MikeTheFitFarmer already cooling almost need the stove lol
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY must be nice it was 101 degrees in North West Alabama Friday.
Yes we do. It gets so hot and humid here in Missouri the swimming pool water feels like bath water.
It's like an Easter egg hunt!
A handsome young man, with a beautiful wife/mother, and beautiful children! My, how blessed y’all are! 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰🥰😇😇
Greetings Friend's!! Lot of good information. My KC ducks lay when nobody else does. I use 3 kiddie pools when it is this hot 1 in each pen and 1 in the yard. Waiting for the weekend cooler temps.Hope the runners start laying again soon. Have a good day Mike.stay cool 😎
it was so hot one summer here in Ohio the chickens were laying hard boiled eggs
DC IS THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WASHINGTON, DC IN OTHER WORDS AND THE SURROUNDING METROPOLITAN AREA, KNOWN AS THE DMV. WE ARE HOT AND HUMID! NO RAIN,
Thanks Mike! I do the same things for my chickens in this heat. I’m a first time chick mom so I go a bit overboard and give them cold watermelon, cukes, apples or figs, whatever I have on hand. They’re a bit spoiled 😁 The past 2 days here in the northwestern NC we’ve had 95 - 98* temps with heat index of 108. I’m so glad they’re calling for 66* on Saturday. I mean it is fall, right? 😁 My feathered girls won’t know what to think. Maybe I should knit them some sweaters 🤔😂😂😁😜
I was gonna say that it's a miracle they are laying at all during molting season and such high temps!
Just one more day of high heat and then we cool it down! Ahhhhh! Cool Down!😊
I like to give my ladies frozen blocks of ice with chopped up treats in it when its hot. Keeps them busy and cools them down.
That's so funny that they are eating the ice! I've never seen that. It really never gets that hot up here.
Can’t get over the ducks carrying around the ice cubes. Too cute. Y’all are good to your animals. 😊
We're in the 50's. I'm looking forward to it getting back up to 70 for a couple of days next week.
I'm happy that you are still getting eggs in that heat and humidity. Happy hunting!
My chicken hasn’t been laying either
Hi..... 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Great video!
Excellent advice. I love chickens.
Thank you so much!
So Mike, since the chickens ate the peppers and you didn’t, were you trying to prove you aren’t a chicken ? “Ba dum bump tizzzz” lol 😂. Stay well guys! Gonna be completely different weather in 24-36 hrs. Enjoy It! I know our pockets will. Wife yells at me for keeping the AC at 74 :(. Ill take the upper 60s please!!!!
Las Vegas, NV checking in. We rarely see humidity above 40% which is hard for us. So I feel for ya. Freeze gallon jugs of water overnight & put them in water, in pools, near nesting boxes, and any place you need it cooler. I lived in OH, KY, TN, MS, GA, so I get it. When I came here in 2008 we were looking for a house & I recall one night it was 112 at 10pm. Yikes! I got a Premiere1 because I have 2 dachshunds.
Sahla has a good idea. Wandering around recording farm life and plants. That will make for some good b-roll.
Greetings Mike and Lacey..I'm late so maybe you won't see this..but will you have time to grow things like cauliflower and broccoli..it was really hot here in PA but the season is shorter..I'm afraid I won't develop heads on either..I'm not sure when they're supposed to..any tips would help..and also it's still a no-go on the chickens..the hubby hasn't caved in yet😁😁😁😁...if I was a chicken I wouldn't want to lay in this heat either..selah is turning into such a beautiful young lady..quite the photographer 😁😁..all your children a great.. blessings to you and your family 😇 😇😇 😇
I'm up in Ohio and our temp is 52F right now and will be 39F tonight. Hopefully your temp will.het lower soon! Much love!!!
Hey mike ....have a great weekend ....winging down now on the farm ..getting ready for old man winter !!!!!!!!
Winter is coming but I hope Fall hangs around for a while.
The Fit Farmer - Mike Dickson Next week the cool down will begin here (had a light frost couple days ago ) Eastern Canada Garden done !!! O m g so many tomatoes!!!!!!
Fill plastic bottles 3/4 with water & put in the waterers. Then replace with a new one & refreeze the old one. A friend used to do that for his dog. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍😃
I set up automatic Waterers for the rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese...55 gal drums of pure cold well water...non stop supply
Hello farm fit Mike do you harvest your chickens?LOVE your videos
I am in South Carolina and it was also 100 here today. I am so ready for cool weather. My mom loved her chickens and would fill balloons with water and freeze them. The ball on would pop off easily and she would throw the frozen ice bombs (as she called them) in the water. They were her babies. Love your videos. Keep up the great work. Prayers for you and your beautiful family
You, too, stay cool, Mike and family.
I didn' know about the chicken don't have capsaicin receptors, learned something new today.
Mike, I've been covered up busy and have not seen any videos in a while. It's good to be back and watch your babies at work. They fill me with joy. Children are a blessing from God. Yours bless me every time I see them at work. They have a great work ethic.
I always felt that our hens were super happy to NOT have a rooster around. Smart girls!! LOL
LOL
I don't understand how the eggs don't cook when it is so hot outside. Ha. Thanks for the tour and lessons about chickens. Very informative. Your kids are great at helping. Blue looks good on you. Have a good weekend. 😺💞🎃
This weather is crazy all over the world, Maryland has been a nightmare, finally we have a break today it’s 74. Great video hang in there mike cooler weathers coming 😀❤️
Yay! Way to go Fit Farmer for looking after your animals!💗👊 Proverbs 12:10
We Had rain last week in Az It was the first time in years that it was under a hundred In September in years .the humidity was in the 30's-50s but it was very cool for here comparatively. .
Put a block of ice instead of cubes. Could save you some work...and the chickens have cool water longer
The ducks really want a bath even part time . We know its a mess but do like happy ducks. enjoy
You're right. That's why we allow them to play in our acre pond. 😁
@@MikeTheFitFarmer We have a couple of small ponds with trout so let them play in the one with less fish. think they help seal the little leaks as well.
You forgot Texas....its ridiculously hot and humid here too
You are correct the natural habitat for chickens is the forest line. When it is hot out like it has been here in N. Florida I will set a shallow container in the shade fill with water and my chickens will stand in it to cool off. I also occasionally throw my chickens some frozen fruit when it is really hot out. Frozen blueberries are their favorite with frozen banana next. It has been so hot that I had to start Fall seedlings over. I have been turning on the sprinkler and at least a dozen various birds will come and play in the sprinkler, cardinals, bluejays, etc.... The boy's are precious little helpers.
Mike we Love you and your beautiful awesome amazing family so much let's not leave out your smokin hot wifey comes down to you being a great husband and father I am so so extremely Proud of you for doing exactly what us men are supposed to do the men all over this beautiful world should be watching your channel and learn from you how to be a awesome Man thumbs up my friend
Do you do the same for your dog's ? and what stimulation do they get, as working dogs they need it. You look after your chickens well. Take care
Temps are horrible but cooler weather on its way Mica is full of it Today 🤩Oh my Gosh All those beautiful eggs 🥚
They molt and quit laying 😂😂😂welcome to the club😂😂😂
I'm already warming food for mine. We have snow and cold temps. I love watching your videos. It's nice to see how others, in different climates handle the care of their homesteads.
Your chicks and ducks don’t make it easy, but the boys get an egg hunt. Good using animals to help prep ground.
If you freeze water bottles filled 3/4 way full you can keep their water cool without needing to use all your ice cubes.
For the animals watering pans how about placing a canopy above the water pans a 5'x5' canopy over the water pans plenty of shade for the water and the animals tie the canopy between the trees in the open areas place wood or metal polls in the ground tie the canopy to the polls
Wow, never think abt chicks & ducks can eat poison ivy & it doesn't hurt them. Good videos Mike & fam.
Oh yeah they have helped clean up so much poison ivy.
@@MikeTheFitFarmer I wouldn't have known that either. I have a patch of it I've been trying to get rid of by hand. I'll let them in that area tomorrow! Thank you - I learn much on your channel. Love seeing your children have fun while working:)
Mike was just wondering if you had much trouble with them flying out of the pen
That's why you can sprinkle cyan pepper on your bird seed to keep the squirrels away.
Birds do tolerate hot peppers. I use suet laced with cayenne to feed the wild birds in winter, that way the squirrels and other varmints won't eat it.
It's hot here in central Texas. I have to keep a close eye on the brooder in the garage because it's almost too hot for week old chicks!
Enjoyed the informative video as always!
Where is Fall. Here in Oak Ridge, North Carolina today is 90 degrees.
wow all the birds seem to love the ice in their water...never thought of that..ty
I thought I hit the subscriced button month ago sorry I jst hit it
My temometer in the car hit 100 yesterday I don't remember it getting that hot in oct'And I allways give my dogs ice they eat it two.
Shade is good for the chickens and ducks too. Grow strong.
I am from Arizona and I know the difference in our Heat and your heat with the heavy humidity. I have visited Louisiana the beginning of July and I know their humidity got even worse but at night I had to turn the windshield wipers on and it was like a downpour except there was no rain. So that topped with higher temperatures 85 to a hundred would be awful . I will however say bat you're very large cockroaches out there are worse than ours. I have never come up on one of those big things in Arizona that did anything except run from me in Louisiana darn thing look me in the eyes well on the ground and the next thing I know it's on my shoulder go figure LOL
Keeping a pool of water in the shade will keep those chickens cool!
Love the chickens and the duck video, they can be so funny
Are you eating duck eggs? What do you do with them? Never heard about eating duck eggs
Songbird For Jesus an egg is an egg. Most taste the same, just the size difference. Though I wouldn't know about reptile eggs. I have had ostrich egg and it tasted pretty much like chicken egg. Just makes a lot more.
You can eat them just like chicken eggs. They are great in baked goods because they whip up better than chicken eggs.
They are fattier than chicken eggs and excellent to bake.
I love them. I dont have ducks, but I usually buy ducks eggs to help a young women who sales them. And use them for baking.
Great tip. I didn’t know that about chickens. Learn something new everyday 🐓🌶
My hens love to bathe their feet in cool water during the summer heat, some can stand during the whole midday heat in the water.They also cover themselves with cool moist earth under their schade tree.
I'm so GLAD I can taste the heat & spiciness of radishes, peppers, arugula & mustard greens♨️
Thanks for that hot pepper chicken tip!!
Finally cool air where I live! Tired of the head too.
It’s going to be 34 degrees tonight. Not the video I need. 🥶
Looked to me like they not only liked that ice, but were very familiar with it.. Looked to me like they wanted to eat it. The chicken was trying to peck pieces off of it. That was pretty cool... no pun intended.
It's like Easter every day! Lol
If I could send you some cooler weather, I would. Today we got up to a rainy 50 something (Washington state). Tomorrow is supposed to get to 56. 79% humidity! Burr!
Whew! Amazing how different the temps can be around the country.
Just got a notice that it’s going to be under 90 degrees tomorrow!! Today is supposed to be the last 90 plus day in Arkansas. Yeah I made it. Hope today marks your last day of extreme heat. Thanks
Glad to hear it will cool down for you all. It looks like we have one more day of around 95 and then it's suppose to be cooler. We'll see. I can't wait.
Was that a dog? It almost looks like a coyote 😬 great advice for the chicken water.
Yes it was a dog.
Great video...💚
Thank God for cooler temps Sat. Hopeful it stays.
The cooler weather is so nice!!
It is so hot I had to cover my run and gave extra water, after 3 weeks of 100 degrees plus with 53 days of no rain not caring for NW Florida right now.
That is rough! Hope you get some relief soon!
I know that you are a very smart person. You think with intelligence. Now your two legged critters can have cool water.
Thanks Richard 👊
Great video!
bok bok bok bok
😂😂😂
SOAKING THE GRAIN/CORN BEFORE FEEDING HELPS GET CLEAN WATER INTO THE CHICKENS.. THEY TEND NOT TO EAT AS MUCH EITHER..
Yes, you are right. We have done that in the past.
It's hotter than the hills of hell here too. Got a small rain shower. Just enough to make it breath taking humid. It's going to be better Tues they say. But I heard too many times this summer it was going to rain and it didn't so we will see
😂😂 I know what you mean. Hope it cools down for you all too.
Way to keep the birds cool!😎
Take care in that heat. It's actually a little chilly here in the mornings. 🥶
It was right at 100 today and Saturday they are calling for a high of 70. Crazy.
Hey Mike, thank you for sharing you tips and tricks! I didn't know chickens couldn't taste the heat of peppers, thanks for teaching ;)
Lucky for us it's not getting superhot in The Netherlands, we virtually never get above 35 degrees Celsius, and for sure not longer than a few days. But still, checking your animals often and adjust their living circumstances according to the weather, is the best we can do for them. We now have had a lot of rain, and it's doesn't seem to stop anytime soon the coming weeks, so we are right now trying to figure out how to give them more shelter for the rain. There is virtually no spot anymore, without the inside of their coop, that is dry. So we fiddle around with boards and sheets and plastic, but we need a more permanent solution. Ah well, we'll figure it out ;)
Take care, blessings,
Diana
We understand about wet weather too. Last year in Sept it started raining and pretty much didn't stop until Feb. Everything was soaked and soggy for months and now it is so dry. One extreme to another.
Yeah, it's strange weather. Romans 8:22 came to mind: like the world is groaning as in the pains of childbirth.
Ah well, we are given imagination and skills to be resourceful and creative, so you and we will find solutions. But it's hard work once in a while. Thank you for in the meantime sharing your skills (and answering comments)! We can help each other, even though we are on either side of the big pond ;)
Blessings.
👍❤🇨🇦
👋😃
Hot in VA these days roo
We are looking forward to nice temps on Saturday!!
One more week I think
It should be cooler in 2 days!! Yay!
Ha! Thanks for the tip of the day, I was wondering why birds were eating my chile pickin 😃
Keep up the good work
God bless you
Went to the Outer Banks when. Hot. Cooler. Then came back to Raleigh. Ick.
Relief is on the Way there Family !!! I Can't Wait for the Coolness to get here. Stay Bless and Safe !!!
Thanks so much for posting this good info on your chickens! Been thinking about getting some ourselves and enjoyed seeing how you guys are managing
Your baby boy is so stinkin' cute! Love seeing the kiddos!
do you all have snakes around there--reason I ask is seeing the children reach into that one tree stump and the woods around you?? God bless.
Liked and commented for algorithm.
It's been horrible here in Alabama too.
Yes. I didn't mention you all. But you all are a part of the southern states of hot & humid too
It's been so bad. And I didn't mean for you to feel bad about not including us. It's just another day in the south. I lived in Houston for a decade. I'm handling it better than my husband and his children....it will soon...we will have acres and we will learn.
We love ducks but never had a successful run with them.
Great Video 🙂
We have been in the 90's here in Ohio , a little cooler tonight and suppose to drop down to 68° tomorrow 🤞
Hope you guys get some relief soon...I do think it suppose to be cooler in VA next week for HOA 🙂
It should be great for HOA!
We love your family and your farm!!! Love learning from your videos. We are really hot in East TX. too. 🥚
Thank you!
So ready for the 70's coming Saturday in my area in NC. I am 1 hour drive from Charlotte. So ready for cooler weather.
We are ready too!
👍🏻🤗🐓🐓🐔🐥
Hi Good morning 👍👌
Good morning! 👋
If you can a hose with a mister helps cool them
Good idea.
I was thinking about getting one.
Stop! I live in the DMV, Nobody has no more humidity and heat than we do. Be blessed, Mike.
DMV?
