Helping Beat The Summer Heat - Page 6

post #51 of 53
Don't forget: cold air sinks. I put ice on top of the coop right over the roost where they hang out...worked well. The roof is plywood. I only had those little plastic packs, but I think a couple of gallon jugs with a styrofoam cooler upside down over them would provide a nice chilling for nighttime...
I'm not a rooster, but I reserve the right to crow!   1 husband who wants a rooster and will not get it, one son who flew the coop, one lovely german shepherd, one amazing adopted farm dog, three gold sex links, two who hit 17 weeks old the first week of July and laid first eggs 7-15-12!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new mister I got....less than $10 from Walmart.  I also run on well water and this ran the pump once in 4 hours, so the pressure is really nice on it.

I like to make my chickens a big bowl of shaved ice with some goodies in it like cracked corn or pieces of fruit or cucumber pcs. They love this on hot day and of coarse plenty of shade.
