I have lived on a chicken farm for 8 years and sometimes it doesn't hurt to mist there ground as well......then you get to watch them roll around on there newly cool ground
I live in Ms and the heat index here lately has been well Over °100.....I mix
I have put this in there water since I bought them at a week old and for the first few months......now they get it on really hot days and its been a big help. Gatorade is ok to use if you mix it 1/2 and 1/2 in water if...
dont worry....alot of the time if you dont have the proper colored (red) heat lamp the chicks will peck at each other and possible kill one of them....styrofoam keep them from doing that and keeps them entertained for hours
