All the chickens ended up surviving the extreme heat waves over the past month. Buffy ended up breaking her broodiness almost immediately. I took her inside and placed her in the basement where it was about 20 degrees cooler than it was outside. She still was panting heavily for about an hour or so before she was able to relax and take some water. I left her inside until just before dusk - her bedtime. She was back to her normal self and had even laid the egg she was struggling with in the heat.
