it gets super hot here in phoenix & i bought a plastic cement mixing tub and some red clay bricks from home depot. i put the bricks in water for the chicks to stand on..the clay bricks stay cool all day even in 115 degree heat so they either stand on them to get their body temps down or lay...
i automatically pictured a little hammock/parachute hung under her butt to catch the eggs lol wow,maybe block that part of the roost so she'd have to lay elsewhere but then again they love their roost..hmm..interesting!
I'm in phoenix where it gets to 115 in july & august. i got a cement mixing tub & red clay bricks from home depot. the bricks stay cool all day in water so they can stand or lay on the bricks to cool down body temp. i just wish theyd get on them more often!
its only thing that seems to work...
Im in Phoenix and it wil get up to 115 in july & august. i bought a thick plastic cement mixing tub from home depot and clay bricks in water..the bricks stay cool & they can stand or lay on them to cool their body temp down. i really didnt want misters since my coops floor is plywood with dirt...
