Brief catch up on another thread. I found a silkie kinda collapsed I think 2 weeks ago, possibly with its foot stuck on something. Acted lethargic, mostly limp. I assumed maybe dehydration, heat exhaustion, possibly a leg/foot injury. Never was 100% on the "stuck" part. I was able to...

I wasn't going to do it, but we're having an awful summer here so I gave in and grabbed some misters for the chickens and quail. I'm totally sold on their use and it's been fascinating to me to see their behavior with them over time. I thought others might find it interesting or have related...
