@MakelaNJoe it is probably more of a personality trait to really enjoy the water. One of my babies loves it and the other four tolerate it. But it really helps cool then down. I was amazed at how much it helps them stop panting and gets them cooler! So even it you just set them in there for a few minutes it also cleans then off! Thanks for the compliment on the babies they are like dogs to us!
Some of my English orpington chicks I just got from The Fancy Chick(HIGHLY recommended) I hot 8 Isabells and 2 Mottleds and I can't stop taking pics of them!
We bought a couple of Ameraucana hens that were previously used for breeding. The first few eggs the laid were fertilized and one of our hens went broody. She destroyed most of the eggs as they were hatching! We managed to save one as it was popping and put it into a home made incubator. We had to help it out of its hell a little but here is the little beaut.
