Caring for Chickens in Summer: Tips for a Happy and Healthy Flock

Very timely and wonderful detail. I didn't know I could just mist (gently spray) my chickens, and didn't know that I should avoid spraying their heads to avoid breathing problems. Very helpful and good tips! I enjoyed the photos, but I have to say they weren't particularly illustrative of the text in the article, just nice eye candy. I can't complain, but consider adding a photo of some of the tips you provide!

I live in Florida so I water the ground so that it makes puddles and then they go play in the puddles and it helps cool them off
We are experiencing a drastic (in my opinion) reduction in eggs (like from 19/day to 1, 2 or 3 :hmm and this may be the answer to the dilemma.

It was concise, easy to understand and will be even easier to implement.

Great article. To improve it, one could add pictures or videos of chickens exhibiting signs of heat distress.
Ventilation is a must.
Good tips.
