When it comes to high temperatures, chickens can tolerate up to 100°F (38°C) for short periods. But, if the heatwave persists, they can get heat stress, which can be fatal. So, it's crucial to provide them with plenty of shade, water, and cool treats to beat the heat.
But, what about the cold? Can chickens handle frosty mornings and chilly nights? The answer is yes, but only to a certain extent. Chickens can tolerate temperatures as low as 40°F (4°C), but if it gets any colder, they might start to get a little grumpy.
