Years ago we used to haul tens of thousands of baby chicks from hatcheries to farms with no air conditioning in the truck.

In the hot summer we opened scoop vents all along the side to keep air flowing to the birds. If we broke down, we opened all the doors, windows, vents and often would remove some in the center to allow air in and heat to escape.

Once after a several hundred mile journey to Mexico to deliver chicks, there was no one there to greet us at the border. We got on the phone, they dispatched someone from a hundred miles away in Mexico to get the chicks. As it was very hot, in that time we drove around in circles mile after mile in a five acre circle till the trucks arrived. Our losses in birds was very low.

Not to be too flippant, but I’m constantly on the prowl and lookout for hot chicks.
