Summer Heat
Thank you all for the tips! They love it under the trees. I have since put out large water pans from TS. I change it in the morning around 10 am and again around 5-6 pm. I also put out a large, plastic snow sled for them. It is approximately 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. It holds about 2 inches...- AprilKY

Summer Heat
I live in Kentucky and our summres can get rather warm. My chickens free-range in my backyard, so the coop is only used for roosting and laying. I know lots and lots of fresh water is a MUST, but I am wondering if there are any tricks, if you will, to help them beat the heat in this weather...- AprilKY

How many chickens have you lost?
I have lost 4-5 to predators, but only one to a respiratory infection.- AprilKY
