Nah, I"m not special, I'm just doing the right thing.
My chickens hang out under the lemon tree too in the late afternoon. No mister system yet so I take out frozen treats instead.
Do you have it on a timer?

No, it's nothing fancy, just one of those little 20 dollar jobbers from Shopper's that you connect to a garden hose. 5 nozzles and it's attached to some of the lower branches using twist ties. I think what I'll do more permanently is build a low frame out of PVC and attach the drippers to that. Sort of like a little chicken misting station that will slip un under the canopy and give them a bunch of room to keep cool.My chickens hang out under the lemon tree too in the late afternoon.

Someone's always home at our place, so it's not a big deal to run in and out a couple times turning it on and off.

You could put it on one of those manual timers that you can set to run for up to two hours. They are huge money savers at my place, because I am always forgetting to turn manual water systems back off. Got mine at Home Depot. It was around $15.
