LOL.... I tell people I would rather deal with 110 degrees on the mountain than 90 down the Hill. deb

YOu are welcome. Always a good idea to get a line out to the coop. deb

I use these The metal cover over the float valve is removable and you can adjust the height of the water in the bowl. They work under regular household pressure and are scrubbable with a toilet brush. They have them at feed stores. The other kind that works well is a horse waterer that...

Get chickens that can handle the heat there are lots of breeds that are good egg layers yet handle the heat well. And I am coming to realize in my own area I need to have chickens with rose combs. My Wellie roos got frost bite on their combs and wattles. Rose combs are smaller and fleshier...

I don't know anything about Brinsea but I used a Genisis 1588 this past summer with just the included reservoir. I did buy a humidity meter and used that as a tool to sense humidity in order to regulate it. I checked it once a day and probably had to add water about every two days. If you...

I wish I had enough water pressure to do misters. They would be integrated with the roof in my coop if I did. As it is I am running water from a big water storage tank Best I can do is dump their water in the middle of the coop to get the ground moist they then take a damp dustbath in it. deb

Probably better to buy some Meatie chicks, to raise up. Cornish cross are ready to butcher at about six weeks. deb

Dang.... oh well. I have family in Ridgecrest area and the heat there is brutal. Make sure you keep up on your electrolytes and keep hydrated. I keep a gallon jug of water everywhere I light. By the computer in the bed room and in the truck. So I have access to water at all times. I got...
