County extension poultryman T. T. Brown of North Carolina State College advises keeping flocks cool with abundant fresh water and shade to protect egg production in hot weather. A green feed crop like a soy bean patch helps flock health, while cooled mash moistened with water or skim milk can counter reduced feed intake in June heat. Remove hens that go broody or start melting for market.
