    Swamp cooler in pen

    Hi I finally got the oxine. I just want to make sure I’m doing it right and not hurting the chickens... so I should just put a capful in the water reservoir. Do I turn it on right away or let it sit? I haven’t used it in a few days cus it’s been so nice out. Thank u for ur advise. So appreciated.

    The fans on the swamp cooler Oscillate... so it’s not constantly blowing directly on them. I’ll put that oxine in the reservoir of the swamp cooler and hopefully that’ll help with any respiratory issues. We have a heat advisory so it looks like it’s gonna have to run day and night.

    So both girls were breathing mouths open and heavy. Coop is ventilated. (Tops open) and fan is running. I freaked out and put them in their pool to cool them down and put ice bottles in the coop to hopefully lower the temp. They seem better now. But it’s 101 at 10:00 pm. Should drop down to 77...

    So I got a swamp cooler this summer because here in Vegas we already hit 100. I hv Two New Hampshire red chickens that are pretty big girls. I have the swamp cooler blowing back-and-forth but aimed down directly at the girls to feel the coolness. I’m just wondering if they can handle the direct...

    That’s just there run if we leave for the day.. at night they go in their coop and stay on the bottom. My one girl only goes up to lay her egg and then comes down. I installed a Roost for them in the coop but they like the pen roosts and get mad at me when I lock them up at night. I sat with...

    Can you post a picture cause it sounds great. I never thought about doing 2 dog kennels. that’s perfect and more reasonably priced. I really do like the swamp cooler though. For $279 it doesn’t make everything damp which now I’m worried about bacteria. Thanks for the idea. And they hate their...

    The tarp is only over the coop to protect from rain cus it’s monsoon Season. lol and it shades what the trees don’t. The circulation in there is pretty good because of the lattice and now that I have the fan it’s blowing all over the place. They seemed really good today at 105! I did see a...

    OK so I bought a pole for them to roost on in the coop. I just don’t know how to install it. any ideas? should I just get two chains and hang it from the coop ceiling?

    I only have these guys because my daughter’s kindergarten hatched them in class. And I said I would take three to Rescue. Some rescue. I just recently found out that they were Rhode Island Reds from the lady at the feed store. I don’t think I would get more chickens on my own. As much as I love...
