I think the one who will suffer the longest is the owner of the dead birds. I have lost animals when there wasn't anything I could have done to save them and still feel guilty for not being able to save them. At least with this experience under his belt, this chicken owner won't make that mistake again. Of course that leaves the door open to make a different one.

Clearly unregistered is a regular? How do you come up with that?

Unregistered you posted his question in one of your replies and if you look at the post again you would see that J.R. did have some shade for the chickens .. It just wasn't enough so why do you insist on being so cruel to him.
I'm sure you have done some things you are not proud of and have posted them or some question that some might consider common sense, and this is most likely why you are posting as Unregistered so no one knows who you are and to lay the blame on another unregistered poster so you do not get the insults that you have given to J.R.

Chicken's can die of many things, heat may not even be the cause with these, if the others are not even panting, I would expect the ones that died had some other problem, they can go quite awhile with heart defects or develop tumors, almost all chickens are very inbred and such defects are common, all looks fine until well into the lay cycle, then they die, it could well be that the ones to die early where predisposed to heat stress due to a different trouble and died from a level of stress that healthy birds would be ok with. J.R. did the right thing to ask, now he knows more about it than he did before and that is what this forum is suposed to be all about, NOT telling people off to becuase you don't agree with what they do.
