Battling Extreme Desert Heat

that whole wattle wetting is why I stuck with tub waterers... even the ones that dont like water have to dip their wattles in it some to get a drink.

I never put out a waiding pool before... I have seen a bunch here and heard alot of positive testimony so when I get my coop rebuilt a Wading are will be considered in the run landscape... nice Shade cloth... Maybe a treat hanger... Chicken SPA...

Oh my GAWD! That is hysterical! I'm stealing it for FB. Crispy 108 here today. To heck with not using water! I put up a mister. Mine don't quite lay like that either, but they like wetting their feet. I did the bricks in the cement tub with water, they are liking laying on that too.

I have an EE that will stay in the pool nearly all day. I have started rinsing the sand and changing the water in the pool once a week. Twice if I have time. They started drinking out of it and sometimes eating the sand. Figured I ought to make it cleaner. They have clean waterers, free choice grit, and a dust bath full of sand. They eat and drink out of the pool. Bird brains.

Hey folks! I've been missing you! Sprinklers have been working for me. We are on a well and a few of my girls will even forage under the mist. Priceless!

HI!

I'm SO over this heat!! 102 here. I can't use the mister with the humidity. How have you been? We should have the elusive RAIN coming?

I can't wait for it to cool off and rain so I can complain about that instead!

LOL... supposed to be hot today and tomorrow nother wave of rain after that. Our humidity is hovering around 20 percent.

I am glad I dont have chickens right now.... and My horse has a brand new shelter a bit 24 x 24 one that will give her shade most of the day.
