Quote: no, just scratched around it and put their beaks to the hose to drink. they always seem to come running when i have the hose so they can drink where the water pools. they have plenty of fresh water inside the coop but i guess it's hot in there or they just don't want to go back in...- srolle1lsu

Quote: i've considered hooking up a mister, similar to the ones at home depot, for the really hot days. my birds seem to like it when i turn the spray nozzle to mist and and leave it running.

Quote: Did you see her first thing this morning? My guess would be that she fell off the roost last night and either sprained or broke her neck.

5 1/2 week old chicks sleeping in nesting box
