    Heat Tolerant Run/Coop in the CA

    Oh no We are also in SoCal and it has been hard on our 4 girls. We draped a blue tarp over the top of their run for shade, included a shallow tub of water for wading if they want it. Also been adding Pedialyte to their water to keep their electrolytes up. This can be purchased at any grocery...

    Nightlight In Coop For Visibility?

    I just put the coop together and answered my own question.
