KEEPING CHICKENS COOL

Date sort Score sort
I only have 1 pic handy at the moment, but we got a lot more done today. ill post more in the next couple of days. My husband has great intentions and getting the chickens was his idea. He just works so many hours at work and I think he misjudged the time it would require to build it. But it is what it is I suppose. I have considered a dog run but my husband already has a vision of what he wants the outcome to be so that's that. But the end is sight!!

The no electricity cooler is so great! Thanks for sharing!

I think I'll start saving up some bottles and build 3 for the chickens - one for each direction we can "harvest" the wind

I also live in Arizona, but in slightly higher desert.

I saved the gel packs from my Blue Apron subscription. There are some large ones, and after freezing, I wrap one with a shop towel and put it out with my chicks at about 10 a.m. The 6 of them will sit on or near it, getting up as needed to drink or eat or just stretch their little legs. This keeps them pretty comfy all the way up until the temps start dropping for the day.
